Kids

I saw a photograph from ten years back It's you and I, we're standin' in the rain Somewhere outside Atlanta and I think my Twelve-seat van is right there out of frame This was before I knew my way around Los Angeles Before I ever cared about nice neighborhoods We were drivin' through the night, sleepin' on hotel floors And thinkin' that we had it good We were kids back then, thinkin' we would live forever We were kids back then We were wild and free, takin' on the world together We were kids back then That's how we're always gonna be La la la, la la la la La la la, la la la la La la la, la la la la La la la, la la la la Passed an old friend on my timeline Who had lately been on my mind We were close as blood If we sat down for a drink I think we'd forget All the stupid reasons we lost touch (We lost touch) It was just because We were kids back then, thinkin' we would live forever We were kids back then You and me We were wild and free, takin' on the world together We were kids back then That's how we're always gonna be La la la, la la la la La la la, la la la la La la la, la la la la La la la, la la la All you got to do is blink your eyes and the years go by like that They fly right past I don't want to wait to realize everything that you and I Already have Five-thirty in the mornin' and we're awake again You are holdin' baby Jane I lean in to take a picture when it hits me In twenty years I will look back and say We were kids back then, thinkin' we would live forever We were kids back then We're so young and free, takin' on the world together We were kids back then That's how we're always gonna be We were kids back then, thinkin' we would live forever We were kids back then You and me We were wild and free, takin' on the world together We were kids back then That's how we're always gonna be La la la, la la la la La la la, la la la la La la la, la la la la La la la, la la la la (That's how we're always gonna be) La la la, la la la la La la la, la la la la La la la, la la la la (Oh) La la la, la la la la (That's how we're always gonna be)
