Kids Lyrics

Days when
We'd fight, we'd fight 'til I would give in
Yeah, perfect disasters
We were reaching, reaching for the rafters, eh ey

And on most of the days we were searching for ways
To get up and get out of the town that we were raised, yeah, 'cause we were done
I remember, we were sleeping in cars
We were searching for OZ
We were burning cigars
With white plastics tips 'til we saw the sun
And we said crazy things like

I refuse to look back thinking days were better
Just because they're younger days
I don't know what's 'round the corner
Way I feel right now I swear we'll never change
Back when we were kids
Swore we would never die
You and me were kids
Swear that we'll never die

Lights down
And we drive and we're drivin' just to get out
Yeah, perfect disasters
Yeah, we were swinging, swinging from the rafters, hey ey

We were dancing in cars
We were looking for ours
We were naming the stars
After people we knew 'til we had to go
And we were saying things like

I refuse to look back thinking days were better
Just because they're younger days
I don't know what's 'round the corner
Way I feel right now I swear we'll never change
Back when we were kids
Swore we would never die
You and me were kids
Swear that we'll never die

Nights when we kept dancing
Changing all our plans and
Making every day a holiday
Feel the years start burning
City lights they're turning
Something 'bout this feels the same

Back when we were kids
Swore we would never die
You and me were kids
Swear that we'll never die
I refuse to look back thinking days were better
Just because they're younger days
I don't know what's 'round the corner
Way I feel right now I swear we'll never change

You and me were kids

What is the Meaning of Kids?

This piece serves as a nostalgic reflection on the invincibility and fearlessness of youth. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of youthful escapades, symbolizing the freedom and adventure that characterize those early years. However, it also emphasizes the importance of not being trapped in the past, but rather embracing change and looking forward to the future. The repeated line "Swore we would never die" epitomizes the feeling of immortality often associated with youth, while "I refuse to look back thinking days were better just because they're younger days" suggests an acceptance of growing older. It beautifully encapsulates the bittersweet nature of reminiscing about one's childhood while acknowledging that life moves forward.
