9 Years Old

[Verse 1]

Nobody looking at me

Little boy by the trampoline

Neighbor dog barking at me

Solo singing in the backyard

Little boy talking to the breeze

In the shade of the pine trees

[Pre-Chorus]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I can be myself

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

That is how I felt

[Chorus]

When I was nine years old

I knew better than I do now

Before I was told

That I had to figure it out

Didn't sing because you were watching

Didn't need my song to be sold

When I was nine years old

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Verse 2]

Up high swinging my feet

Little boy on a rock wall

I was scared that I might fall (Fall)

But it was worth it to me

A little boy and the sunrise

Saw a bigger plan written in the sky

[Pre-Chorus]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I knew who I was then

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

And I don't wanna forget

[Chorus]

When I was nine years old

I knew better than I do now

Before I was told

That I had to figure it out

Didn't sing because you were watching

Didn't need my song to be sold

When I was nine years old

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Interlude]

Na-na-na, na-na-na

Na-na-na, na-na

Na-na-na, na-na-na

Na-na-na, na-na

Na-na-na, na-na-na

Na-na-na, na-na

Na-na-na, na-na-na

[Bridge]

Now all eyes looking at me, hey hey

Not the little boy in the backyard

Yeah, but he hasn't gone far

Reminding me to be

To be in awe of the moment

Yeah, that boy isn't gone yet (Yeah)

[Chorus]

That is how I felt

When I was nine years old

I knew better than I do now (Oh, yeah)

Before I was told

That I had to figure it out

Didn't sing because you were watching (Didn't sing, didn't sing)

Didn't need my song to be sold

When I was nine years-old (Nine years old)

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Outro]

(Na-na-na, na-na-na)

(Na-na-na, na-na) I can be myself, hey

(Na-na-na, na-na-na)

I can be myself
