Thought I'd be a different person
but it's just a different life
If I got married tomorrow, I'd feel like a teenage wife
I am older at the parties, thought that wouldn't bother me
I can tell who's turning thirty versus
being twenty-three, oh

Ba-da-da, ba-da
Ba-da-da, ba-da

The girls I knew at sixteen have a friend group of their own
Thought I'd make new friends in college
but majority moved home
My best friend's in New York City
she is beauty, she is grace
And I wonder if we'll ever live again in the same place, oh

Ba-da-da, ba-da
Ba-da-da, ba-da

Was it better? I was younger
Different problems, different names
Was it perfect? Was it simple?
Was it more or less the same?
How did it change?
How did I change? How did it change?
How did I change? How did I?

Ba-da-da, ba-da
Ba-da-da, ba-da

I insisted that the faces of my parents couldn't change
But I love how I look like my mama when she was my age
Thought the world only got bigger
I'd be hanging in the park
Throwing balls at cement walls till the sky got dark, oh

Ba-da-da, ba-da
Ba-da-da, ba-da

Crying at the supermarket, crying at the DMV
Crying at the doctor's office, crying independently
Growing pains are only growing, it's a new reality
Everything feels more nostalgic in a partial memory, oh

Ba-da-da, ba-da
Ba-da-da, ba-da

Was it better? I was younger
Different problems, different names
Was it perfect? Was it simple?
Was it more or less the same?
How did it change?
How did I change?
How did it change?
How did I change?
How did it change?
How did I change?
How did I?

Ba-da-da, ba-da
Ba-da-da, ba-da
Ba-da-da, ba-da
Ba-da-da, ba-da
Ba-da-da, ba-da
Ba-da-da, ba-da
Ba-da-da, ba-da
Ba-da-da, ba-da
