When I grow up, I want to be
As pretty as you, so bright
I’ve always been in a hurry to grow up (Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh)
I’m sorry if I’ve been arrogant
Your teeth are like stolen pearls
From some hideout in the sea
Those green eyes, sapphire diamond
I see everything you have to give
Your hair smells like freshly cut grass
Firefly in the darkness
Thanks to knowing you’ll be by my side
I’m not afraid of loneliness (Ah-ah-ah, uh-uh, ah-ah-ah)
If I ever make a mistake, mom
I promise to try again
Once more
(I promise you that)
You started collecting
Photos that tell me so many stories
It seems like you can freeze
Tiny parts of my memory (Tiny parts of me)
Your teeth are like stolen pearls
From some hideout in the sea
Those green eyes, sapphire diamond
I see everything you have to give (To give)
Your hair smells like freshly cut grass
Firefly in the darkness
Thanks to knowing you’ll be by my side
I’m not afraid of loneliness (Ah-ah-ah, uh-uh, ah-ah-ah)
If I ever make a mistake, mom
I promise to try again (Ah)
Once more, ma-mom, ah-ah
Once more
Ah-ah, ah-ah
