It's not easy to make a new friend
It's easy to pretend
but it's hard to make a friend
unless you are a child
I'd like to be a child
a child running wild
with lots (of) places to hide
Then I fall asleep at night
Forget you had a fight
your friends the next day
Create for me a little open space
I need it just in case
I have to make a hit
then I might need it
A little green lawn
Where game could play on
and we could be children
Then I fall asleep at night
Forget you had a fight
your friends the next day
It's hard to stay awake after an exciting day
It's hard to stay awake
It's hard to stay awake after an exciting day
It's hard to stay awake
It's hard to stay awake after an exciting day
It's hard to stay awake
It's hard to stay awake after an exciting day
It's hard to stay awake after an exciting day
