When We Were Kids Songtext
von Matt Gresham

I′ve had to agree when I didn't understand
Had to travel the world in order to become a man
Had to forgive myself for failing in love
Had to forgive you for failing at us
Plus, you only show it to me when I walk out the door
I don′t sing for you now, please hold your applause
I've had to say goodbye so many times
That it feels like, right now, we're walking back in time
And you don′t wanna live in the prison alone
There′s no love in the place that built you your throne, I guess
Let the ghostwriter just go with his own pain
Write a book from someone else's own page
Stuck in the day

Oh, celebrate the fears that faded
The ones that made us crazy when we were kids
Let′s go back to the things we did
Show me your tears, let's face it
I don′t care if they think we're crazy
I need our kids to go back to the things we, back to the things we did


You see a calmness in her face
I see a storm she buried for days
The city change can′t make your mind change
Won't make your heart fade
A lot of people, they never look a man in the eye
It's not you, darling, busy time, living life still
Try to make cash to make the time go by, it′s real
Live the biggest dream, chase the oldest lie
Some people love it

Celebrate the fears that faded
The ones that made us crazy when we were kids
Let′s go back to the things we did
Show me your tears, let's face it
I don′t care if they think we're both crazy
I need our kids to go back to the things we, back to the things we did
Show me your tears, let′s face it
I don't care if they think we′re crazy
I need our kids to go back to the things we did
Show me your tears, let's face it
I don't care if they think we′re crazy
I need our kids to go back to the things we, back to the things we did

It′s like we're all different dying fathers
Somehow feeling the blame
And when I look into your eyes
I feel exactly the same


Show me your tears, let′s face it
I don't care if they think we′re crazy
I need our kids to go back to the things we, back to the things we did
Show me your tears, let's face it
I don′t care if they think we're crazy
I need our kids to go back to the things we, back to the things we did

Show me your years of truth
Is this really you?
Take off your mask for proof
Show me it's really you
Show me it′s really you
Show me it′s really you
