Kids

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Pre-Chorus] 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 [Chorus] We were kids back then, thinkin' we could 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 [Post-Chorus: Children's Choir] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] We were kids back then, thinkin' we could 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 [Post-Chorus: Children's Choir] 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 [Bridge] 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 [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus] "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 could 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" [Post-Chorus: Children's Choir & Ben Rector] 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)
