Yeahhh
Peaceful, layin back and countin' stars
Sure that there's one up there for me
Dreamin', without a doubt that they'd come true
Back then it seemed so easy to believe
And everything was right there for the taking
Back before it got so complicated
I miss the girl I used to be
On top of the world and fancy-free
A lazy summer day was all she needed
That fearless heart that used to laugh
And loved with everything she had
And faith and hope and trust were just like breathin'
I love the woman that I've turned out to be
But sometimes, sometimes
I miss the girl.
Grateful, for everything that's come my way
And if I had the chance I wouldn't change a thing
But there's moments
When it all gets to be too much
And I miss the innocence of 17.
And everything was right there for the taking
Back before it got so complicated
I miss the girl I used to be
On top of the world and fancy-free
A lazy summer day was all she needed
That fearless heart that used to laugh
And loved with everything she had
And faith and hope and trust were just like breathin'
I love the woman that I've turned out to be
But sometimes, sometimes
I miss the girl.
She lived every day so free and easy
I wonder what she'd say if she could see me
I miss the girl
I miss the girl I used to be
On top of the world and fancy-free
A lazy summer day was all she needed
(I miss the girl)
Yeah, that fearless heart that used to laugh
And loved with everything she had
And faith and hope and trust were just like breathin'
Yeah, I love the woman that I've turned out to be
But sometimes, sometimes
I miss the girl.
Yeahhh
Oh, I miss the girl
