I know that I'd get bored with it if everyone sounded the same way
And I know that I'd get sick of it if I had to the same food everyday
And that's what it feels like sometimes
And I have great respect for you, but you won't allow a little variety
It seems like all the things I like
They have no place in this one-course meal that you've laid out for me
Well I like to sit and think about those good old days
I was young, my imagination was a spark
Before you told me what I could and could not do
Before you tried to grow a garden in the dark
I think I'm old enough now to make decisions on my own
And if I need your help, I'll ask you
Until then, please leave me alone
Please leave me alone
Well I like to sit and think about those good old days
I was young, my imagination was a spark
Before you told me what I could and could not do
Before you tried to grow a garden in the dark
