Weight of the world on these small shoulders Beyond my years is where I like to stand My crazy chapter was already over Before it began I listen to vinyl for the scratches I find myself in other people's shoes I fix my mama's problems like a habit And Daddy's too Oh to be a wild child for a day All the promises I've ever kept I'd line 'em up to break Oh to be a dancer on the edge I'd rip the filter from my mouth And all my cigarettes But I know I won't I guess I was born an old soul Old soul, ooh I'll be the first to toast and throw confetti And break the champagne bottle with a sword And when the party's over, I'll be ready To sweep the floor I don't fall in love every other minute I don't mind it taking its sweet time I just know I'll know it when I see a Soul like mine Oh to be a wild child for a day All the promises I've ever kept I'd line 'em up to break Oh to be a dancer on the edge I'd rip the filter from my mouth And all my cigarettes But I know I won't I guess I was born an old soul Old soul, ooh Old soul It's fine to dream But I don't need Oh to be a wild child for a day The promises I've ever kept I'd line 'em up to break Oh to be a dancer on the edge I'd rip the filter from my mouth And all my cigarettes But I know I won't But thank God I was born an old soul Old soul Old soul Old soul, ooh Hey, old soul Old soul Hey Hey, hey, yeah Ah, old soul, old soul, hey Mmm Ooh Hey
