lyrics

When I was a kid, I liked to write poems
Didn’t last long
When I was a kid, I believed in something big

Now I’m in my car, waiting for the lights to change
Traffic lights, life can be so taming, tame

When I was a kid, the sky seemed to open over my head
When I was a kid, I often floated with the dead and gone
Didn’t I do it, all that I was told, like I'm supposed
Didn’t I do it, all that I learned
Did I get everything I deserved
And if I didn’t, why am I still here

In all my dreams, I really haven’t changed that much, we’re still in school
And I wonder where our future plans we made were laid to break the rules
It’s been many years since I left my pack, off to the woods
See the new kids, just waiting for their turn, and this better be good

Maybe we’re just carried by the wind
You and me and everything we did
Maybe we’re just carried by the wind
You and me and everything we ever did

Didn’t I do it, didn’t I do right?
Did I do it right? Did I do it right?

When I was a kid, When I was a kid, When I was a kid, When I was a kid
Still trying to get back
Trying to get back who I was
Trying to get back who I was
When I was a kid
Trying to get back who I was
Trying to get back who I was
When I was kid
