Lyrics
If you only knew me when I was thinner,
Could jog eleven miles and then make you dinner,
But you know that time is not my friend, I'm a hater,
I won't watch the evening news or read the paper,
Whoever said that the old are the wise would rather be stupid and young,
Spendin' our childhood tryin' to get old and the rest of our lives stayin young,
If I knew what I know now, I'd still screw it up somehow,
If I knew what I know now, It wouldn't matter,
I'm not old but I'm not young, It's halfway over,
The intermission isn't long so take it slower,
If there ever comes a day when I stop dreamin',
That'll be the day that life will have no meaning,
If I knew what I know now, I'd still screw it up somehow,
If I knew what I know now, It wouldn't matter,
Now I need to find a way to keep me goin,
If my glass was twice as full then I'd be golden,
