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
