I can remember that when 
I was a little youth 
I, Wanted to fly around the world making a new life, 
I never thought today, 
I'd be where 
I am now, 
Yo, wanted to be a fireman, 
Than I lost the desire man, 
The second 
I got old enough, 
To buy myself a cider can, 
Yeah, I was a smart little kid, 
That sides departed me since, 
These days you can find me, 
Sitting on the bench in the park with a lager and crisps [Chorus] 
Back when 
I was younger, 
I wanted to be everything on the planet, 
Now that I am older, 
It seems the ambition has vanished, 
Yeah when 
I was a youngster, 
When I was a, 
When I was a youngster, 
Youngster, when 
I was a youngster 
And now that 
I'm older, 
I wish I coulda been everything that 
I wanted, 
I'm on it [Verse 2] 
I think that if 
I think back back to the days 
When I thought 
I didn't think that, 
Nothing that 
I thought could not be possible, 
Ha, try and figure that out, 
Back when 
I didn't know how, 
To settle for a desk job bring in those pounds, 
I wanted to live in those clouds, 
These days 
I deliver those sounds 
I always thought of myself as a simple dreamer, 
Never tried to hard but believed it, 
Now all of a sudden, 
It's gone my way [Chorus] 
Back when 
I was younger, 
I wanted to be everything on the planet, 
Now that I am older, 
It seems the ambition has vanished, 
Yeah when 
I was a youngster, 
When I was a, 
When I was a youngster, 
Youngster, when 
I was a youngster 
And now that 
I'm older, 
I wish I coulda been everything that 
I wanted, 
I'm on it
