Sour Patch Kids
Bryce Vine Lyrics

When I was growing up, I had a lot of dreams,
As a child, I had many aspirations for my future.

My momma told me "Son you could be anything"
My mother encouraged me to pursue any career or goal I desired.

Long as you spread your wings,
As long as I worked hard and took risks, anything was possible.

I know one day you'll be great
My mother had faith in my abilities to achieve greatness.

Just wait, soon you'll aim up at the sky
I was confident that I would eventually reach my goals.

And I'll watch you float away
My mother would be proud to see me excel and reach for the stars.

But, now that I am older, I'll admit that I am over
As an adult, I acknowledge that I am tired of dealing with the stress and pressure of life.

All the stress and shit that comes from holding
I am exhausted from constantly carrying the weight of my responsibilities and worries.

Life up on your shoulders
The burden of adult life can feel overwhelming and heavy.

It's a chore, I'm sick of being bored,
The monotony and tedium of daily life has become exhausting and unfulfilling.

I'm sick of always stressin over shit I could ignore
I am tired of worrying about things that are not worth my time and energy.

I guess it's just my own immaturity,
I acknowledge that my desire to escape from responsibilities may be seen as immature.

Burnin' through me internally,
Despite this, I still feel a strong internal desire to let go of my worries and enjoy life.

Take imagination and making it a reality
I believe that taking risks and pursuing my dreams can turn my imaginative ideas into real-life achievements.

So, pause. Yo, fuck it, I'll be right back
At this moment, I am choosing to take a break from my responsibilities and seek enjoyment instead.

Pay a visit to the past,
I want to reminisce and revisit my childhood and simpler times.

Tell them all to kiss my ass for a second
I am expressing my desire to disconnect from adult life and its demands for just a moment.

I just wanna play around livin' like a child
I crave the carefree joy and playfulness of childhood.

With old tunes jammin on my Walkman,
I want to listen to nostalgic music that reminds me of my youth and simpler times.

And some Sour Patch Kids and a Coke can
I want to indulge in simple pleasures like candy and soda, without any worries or guilt.

I just wanna run around doin what I want
I long for the freedom to do what I please and make my own choices, without any restrictions or consequences.

With a pretty ass girl and a slow jam,
I desire a romantic connection with someone attractive, with soft and sensual music playing in the background.

I just wanna go back to the old school, old news, road rules
I want to return to a time in the past when life was simpler, with classic TV shows and music of my youth.

Fresh prince, cartoons, good raps, dope tracks
I yearn for nostalgic entertainment such as classic sitcoms, animated TV shows, and great music that brings back happy memories.

I'm not tryin to be on it, I'm just tryin' to be honest
I am not attempting to be trendy or follow the crowd; I am simply expressing my true feelings and desires.

Packed lunch, school crush, Bus home and play Sonic
I miss the simple pleasures of childhood such as bringing a homemade lunch to school, having a crush on someone, and playing video games after getting off the bus.

I have been there, I have done that,
I have lived through many experiences and made my own mark on the world.

Made my mark up on the town
I have left my own unique impact and legacy on the people and places in my life.

Been stupid, I've been lucid, been a menace and a clown
I have had moments of foolishness, but I have also been intelligent and successful, and sometimes mischievous or comedic in my actions.

Wow, I'm chillin watchin' Rocko's modern livin'
I am relaxed and enjoying simple entertainment such as watching a nostalgic TV show like Rocko's Modern Life.

Wishin I could find a way to bring back Music Television
I long for a time when MTV played great music videos and was a central part of popular culture.

No more Jersey Shore'n whorin' or horribly borin'
I do not enjoy watching trashy reality TV shows, which feel cheap and repetitive.

Versions of shows from Great Britain,
I am uninterested in the endless remakes and adaptations of British TV shows in American media.

They're written with no vision
I believe that many modern TV shows and media lack creative vision and originality.

Damn, so fuck it I'll be right back
I am determined to take a break from adult life and responsibilities, and indulge in my desires for nostalgia and carefree playfulness.

Pay my tribute to the past,
I am showing respect and reverence to the simpler times of my youth.

You can all just kiss my ass for a second
I do not care about the opinions or judgments of others; I am focused on my own desires for happiness and enjoyment in life.
