When you were young you dreamed of being a superhero and doing things you see on tv.
When you got older you realize that you are not superhuman, and in order to get on tv you must do something tv-worthy
When you were little you wanted to be big and strong
When you got older your bigger but still feel small and weak
When you were young you wished to have a big house and live in the big city, doing grown-up things
When you got older you realized that in order to have that big house, live in that big city, and do those grown up things you have to have money
Meaning you have to have a good paying job
When you were little you saw yourself marrying someone you love
You saw yourself marrying that girl that gave you half of her sandwich in kindergarden and then let you swap out your apple juice for her grape
When you got older you married the one that swapped her heart out for yours
