[Verse 1]
Aunt Clara kept her Bible right next to the phone
In case she needed a quote while she talked to someone
In my memory she smiles while the blessing is said
And visions of freeze tag dance in my head
She says I’ll grow up big if I eat all my roast
I’ll still believe in heaven, but I won’t believe in ghosts anymore
[Chorus]
I’ll put away childish things
I’ll put away childish things
[Verse 2]
Every other weekend, age o' thirteen
With my fishing pole and my Field and Stream
Ridin' back home on the Trailways bus
I looked out the window ’til I saw too much
And I called my parents by their own first names
I played in the alley, but I didn’t play the game anymore
[Chorus]
I’ll put away childish things
I’ll put away childish things
[Instrumental]
