Kids

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
