I was just a bedroom dreamer

Wishing on the glow-in-the-dark stars on the ceiling, mm

Singing for my third grade teacher

Looked me in the eyes, and told me she had a feeling

And I had a feeling

So I spent the next ten years

Waiting for my moment

And if that little girl could see me now

She wouldn't believe how it's going

When I can't think straight

Too much on my plate

I gotta tell myself

That I used to pray for these days

I got a job and some bills to pay

Got a boy who loves to say my name

Gotta go 'cause I'm running late

I used to pray for thеse days

Lately I've been out of town

Can't еven sleep, can't even meet my friends for coffee, mm

Catch myself looking around

Feeling behind, so out of time, ain't it funny?

But it's not lost on me

That I've spent the next ten years

Waiting for my moment

And if that little girl could see me now

She wouldn't believe how it's going

When I can't think straight

Too much on my plate

I gotta tell myself

That I used to pray for these days

I got a job and some bills to pay

Got a boy who loves to say my name

Gotta go 'cause I'm running late

I used to pray for these days

Used to pray for these days

Used to pray, I used to pray for these days

I got a job and some bills to pay

Got a boy who loves to say my name

Singing songs, standing on a stage

I used to pray for these days
