Kids Songtext
von RJ Thompson

Well the town was alive with spiralling lights
And bumper car screams broke the monotone
Well I remember it well, when your mum called you home
And we spent all night talking on the telephone
We just talked for hours

We were just kids back then
Spinning on the waltzer making trouble with our friends
We were just kids back then
I thought you′d be long gone
We were just kids back then
Now we're almost grown


Well my face might have aged, but my demons remain
You were there on day one when the battle came
You never looked in my head, you took me bowling instead
And you joyfully ripped on my crappy aim
I thought you′d be, I thought you'd be long gone

We were just kids back then
Spinning on the waltzer making trouble with our friends
We were just kids back then
I thought you'd be long gone
We were just kids back then
Now we′re almost grown

No one tells you how the world works as a grown up
No one shows their imperfections in the close up
No one tells you why you′re standing in the lineup
For the honour of making money for the chain of command above
And no one knows that you're down when you look up
Or shows you how to grieve for the ones that you love
No one tells you it′s ok to call for backup
When you feel like giving up
