I Couldn't Wait To

I couldn't wait to grow up and go to school just like my big brothers

I couldn't wait to go away overseas and use my Minnie the Mouse backpack

I couldn't wait to go home and brag to all my friends

I couldn't wait to do my weather report presentation 

I couldn't wait to go on lunch break during that mad handball craze

I couldn't wait until our math time was over

I couldn't wait to go to drama class in year 8 

I couldn't wait to be skinny like all of my friends

I couldn't wait to go to art lessons with our hippie teacher

I couldn't wait to perform in Spamalot and Wakakirri 

I couldn't wait to beat Wally in that cross country race

I couldn't wait to go on camp to this Island with my two best friends 

I couldn't wait to start my first day at my brand new school

I couldn't wait to join the community club 

I couldn't wait to see the end my first History exam

I couldn't wait to reach year 12 and sit up the back

I couldn't wait to graduate and finally be in the 'real world'

I couldn't wait to start university and my brand new life

Then I blinked and all the anticipation was gone,

These moments have been and gone and moved on 

Life moves on...
