What Happened

about

a song about caring for your inner child, euphoric recall of the past, and fall nostalgia that creeps in every season.

lyrics

Did it hurt when you fell from heaven?
I wouldn’t know purgatory’s not that far away
Still feel the pain from when I scraped my knees at seven
Can’t take the blow 'cause the scars are always here to stay

Oh my god it’s been so long ago
Since I was loud as I want
Hmmmm

What happened to recess?
What happened to trading stickers in those shiny books?
What happened to pretense?
What happened to saving me from disappointed looks?
What happened to best friends?
What happened to slumber parties two nights in a row?
What happened to young me?
Who’s caring for her now that I’ve gotten old?

Did you smile when he stopped by your locker?
I wouldn’t know I bloomed much later than you did
I’d kill to watch you play another game of soccer
Head to the diner after even if you didn’t win

And oh my god it’s been so long ago
Since I was happy like that
Oh

What happened to recess?
What happened to trading stickers in those shiny books?
What happened to pretense?
What happened to saving me from disappointed looks?
What happened to best friends?
What happened to slumber parties two nights in a row?
What happened to young me?
Who’s caring for her now that I’ve gotten old?

Now that I've gotten old
What happened to young me
Now that I've gotten old?
