when i was young

i wanted to be all-powerful

when i was young

i wanted to be telepathic

oh, i knew the road would be bumpy

at the least i knew what i wanted to be

yeah

so i had a wish

when i was young

but, actually

when i was young

oh, i knew the road would be bumpy

at the least i knew what i wanted to be
