I can remember that when i was a little you
I wanted to fly around the world making a new life
I never thought today i would be what i am now

(yo) wanted to be a fireman then i lost the desire man
The second i got old enough to buy myself a cider can
(yeah) i was a smart little kid, that sized a part of me since
These days you can catch me sitting with a bench in the park with a lager and crisps

(chorus)
Back when i was younger, i wanted to be everything on the planet (on the, on the, on the planet)
Now that i am older, it seems the ambition has vanished
(uh) yeah, when i was a youngester, when i was a
When i was a youngster, youngster
When i was a youngster
Yeah, and now that i'm older, i wish i could of been everything that i wanted (i'm on it)

I think that if i think back (back)
To the days when i thought i didn't think that nothing that i thought would not be possible
Tryna' figure that out (out)
But i didn't know how
To settle for a desk drop bringing those pounds
I wanted to live in those clouds
These days i deliver no sounds

I always thought of myself as a simple dreamer

I never tried too hard but believed it
Now all of a sudden it's gone my way

Back when i was younger, i wanted to be everything on the planet (on the, on the, on the planet)
Now that i am older, it seems the ambition has vanished
(uh) yeah, when i was a youngester, when i was a
When i was a youngster, youngster
When i was a youngster
Yeah, and now that i'm older, i wish i could of been everything that i wanted (i'm on it)

(when i was a youngester, when i was a
When i was a youngster, youngster
When i was a... yeah)

Back when i was younger, i wanted to be everything on the planet
Now that i am older, it seems the ambition has vanished
Yeah, when i was a youngester, when i was a
When i was a youngster, youngster
When i was a youngster
Yeah, and now that i'm older, i wish i could of been everything that i wanted (i'm on it)

Back when i was younger, i wanted to be everything on the planet (on the, on the, on the planet)
Now that i am older, it seems the ambition has vanished
Yeah, when i was a youngester, when i was a
When i was a youngster, youngster
When i was a youngster
Yeah, and now that i'm older, i wish i could of been everything that i wanted (i'm on it, yeah)
