When I was a kid, I made a book
Saat aku kecil, aku membuat sebuah buku
Planning out how my future would look
Merencanakan terlihat bagaimana dunia masa depanku
I drew in pictures of houses with views
Aku mengambar sebuat gambar rumah dengan pemandangan
Two swings in the backyard, one pink and one blue
Dua sayap di halaman belakang, satu merah muda dan satu biru
Now that I'm older I wish I could see'
Sekarang aku lebih tua aku harap aku bisa melihat
A world where that still made sense to me
Dunia dimana masih terlihat masuk akal
'Cause if my future kids end up like me
Karna jika masa depan anakku berakhir seperti aku
They won't get to sleep earlier than three
Mereka tidak akan pergi tidur lebih pagi dari 3
They'll be thinking 'bout how they can be
Ayah mereka akan berpikir bagaimana
Better than they are, taking it too far
Trying to change the things I love the most about them
And I don't think I could ever stand to see that happen, no
I was too young when I picked out their names
And wrote them at the top of every page
'Cause I didn't know I would grow up to hate
The way that I look, and my size and my shape
I wish I could make sure that they never see
Themselves in the same way that I see me
'Cause if my future kids end up like me
They won't get to sleep earlier than three
They'll be thinking 'bout how they can be
Better than they are, taking it too far
Trying to change the things I love the most about them
And I don't think I could ever stand to see that happen, no
I'll keep the book in a safe place
'Cause I'm not quite ready to throw it away
'Cause if my future kids end up like me
They won't get to sleep earlier than three
They'll be thinking 'bout how they can be
Mereka akan berpikir tentang mereka akan menjadi apa
Better than they are, taking it too far
Lebih baik dari pada mereka yg sekarang, terlalu jauh
Trying to change the things I love the most about them
Mencoba untuk merubah hal-hal yang paling aku sukai tentang mereka
And I don't think I could ever stand to see that happen, no
Dan aku tidak berpikir aku bisa melihat itu terjadi, tidak
