(Sha, sha, sha)

Thought I'd be a different person, but it's just a different life
If I got married tomorrow, I'd feel like a teenage wife
I am older at the parties, thought that wouldn't bother me
I can tell who's turning thirty versus being twenty-three, oh

Ba-da-da, ba-da
Ba-da-da, ba-da

The girls I knew at sixteen have a friend group of their own
Thought I'd make new friends in college, but majority moved home
My best friend's in New York City, she is beauty, she is grace
And I wonder if we'll ever live again in the same place, oh

Ba-da-da, ba-da
Ba-da-da, ba-da

Was it better? I was younger
Different problems, different names
Was it perfect? Was it simple?
Was it more or less the same?
How did it change?
How did I change? How did it change?
How did I change? How did I?

Ba-da-da, ba-da
Ba-da-da, ba-da

I never thought I'd leave the canyon for a place that's not LA
But I did it with a kid inside my belly anyway
Once we moved and I regretted every single choice I'd made
But then I held him in my arms that Sunday morning when he came, oh

Ba-da-da, ba-da
Ba-da-da, ba-da

Crying in a hotel lobby, crying at an airport gate
Crying in my mother's arms, it's where I wish I was today
Thought my medication changes would maybe fix a part of me
Instead, I'm stuck inside a tour bus, crying independently, oh

Ba-da-da, ba-da
Ba-da-da, ba-da

Was it better? I was younger
Different problems, different names
Was it perfect? Was it simple?
Was it more or less the same?
How did it change?
How did I change? How did it change?
How did I change? How did it change?
How did I change? How did I?

Ba-da-da, ba-da
Ba-da-da, ba-da (ba-da-da-da-da-da)
Ba-da-da, ba-da
Ba-da-da, ba-da (ba-da-da-da-da-da)
Ba-da-da, ba-da
Ba-da-da, ba-da (ba-da-da-da-da-da)
Ba-da-da, ba-da
Ba-da-da, ba-da
