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 ... a part of me since,
These days you can catch me sitting on a bench 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 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)
