Bigger Kids, Bigger Problems

Walk with me

Cause I don't run anymore

It doesn't soothe your nerves

And my knees are sore

I don't feel like acting

I don't like the play

I don't fit the role you wrote for me

I'd rather share what's on my mind

You say you're not where you want to be

But I know you well enough by now

To know you never are, never were

And maybe never ever will be happy

Reality is scaring me too

Trust me, I'm shaking in my shoes

But the real superheroes now

Are everyday people

Who dare to face

What they fear the most

We are just bigger kids with bigger problems

We are just bigger kids with bigger problems

Talk to me

Truth hurts

But the lies hit much harder

And nothing, no nothing is really as it seems

I'm not where I thought I'd end up either, you know

I wanted to be a princess, and then a teacher

And then a surgeon or a dentist

But I'm scared of blood and got kicked out school

A few times

Then I wanted to be a lawyer

But then I got sued

And that sucks, big time

The real superheroes now

Are everyday people

Who simply love what they have

We are just bigger kids with bigger problems

Now we're just bigger kids with bigger problems

I'm not where I dreamed I'd be

But when I'm picking up my princess after school

I think to myself it's pretty cool

That I never got where I wanted to go

Cause this love is beyond all I could have ever dreamed of

But still when I turned forty

Got my hair bleached and my belly button pierced

I checked out of my marriage

And broke everybody's heart

Why couldn't I've

Just bought a little red sports car?

So you be you

Whoever that is is fine

Live each day like you're gonna die

Cause if we know

One thing for sure

Is we all are

We all are

Bigger kids with bigger problems

We are just bigger kids with bigger problems

Reality is scary it's true

But talk to me, and I'll listen to you
