Old Soul

Weight of the world on these small shoulders
Beyond my years is where I like to stand
My crazy chapter was already over before it began
I listen to vinyl for the scratches
I find myself in other people's shoes
I fix my mama's problems like a habit and daddy's too
Oh, to be a wild child for a day
All the promises I've ever kept, I'd line 'em up to break
Oh, to be a dancer on the edge
I'd rip the filter from my mouth and all my cigarettes
But I know I won't
I guess I was born an old soul, old soul
I'll be the first to toast and throw confetti
And break the champagne bottle with a sword
And when the party's over I'll be ready to sweep the floor
I don't fall in love with every other minute
And I don't mind it taking its sweet time
I just know I know it when I see a soul like mine
Oh, to be a wild child for a day
All the promises that I've ever kept, I'd line 'em up to break
Oh, to be a dancer on the edge
I'd rip the filter from my mouth and all my cigarettes
But I know I won't
I guess I was born an old soul, old soul
Oohhh, old soul
It's fun to dream
But I don't need
Oh, to be a wild child for a day
Promises I've ever kept, I'd line 'em up to break
Oh, to be a dancer on the edge
I'd rip the filter from my mouth and all my cigarettes
But I know I won't
But thank God I was born an old soul
