I'm a Kid

I'm a kid, in a grown up body

I was put here by someone, maybe god

Moved up to the big city to find a job

And it sucks but it pays for things I like to do

Cause I'm a kid

I'm a kid, in my own apartment

Making all my own decisions, goals & dreams

Trying to stay healthy on a can of beans

The baked kind, they're the best kind

And now I'm homesick

Oh yes I'm kid

I think about my mum & dad

Every fight we ever had

Wishing I could wipe it all away

I would say let's talk it through

I'm really proud of you too

At the end of the day

It's their first time at this life too

I'm a kid, and I have a dog

He's really smart and funny but he doesn't eat

Sometimes he doesn't want to go outside, or down the street

And I don't know what to do

Coz he relies on me

But I'm a kid

I'm a kid, and I'm 31

And my body clock is ticking

Better keep having fun

Coz soon enough my dog won't be the only one

That I need to keep alive and I am terrified because

I'm still a kid

I think about my mum & dad

The life I never knew they had

And if we met back then would we be friends

Crying in the pub from noon

Over boyfriend number 22

They'd say in the end

It's your first time at this life too

And even when I'm 50, I'll still think I'm 15

Panicking about the places I have never been

Thinking of the ways I haven't seized the day

Coz it's my first time here

But also my last time here

So what the? I'm just a kid

Oh I'm just a kid

Oh I'm just a kid (Kid)

Oh I'm just a kid (Kid)

Oh, oh

Oh I'm just a kid (Kid)

I'll never be a kid

Oh I'll never be a kid again

I think about my mum & dad

All the time I wish we had

To sit and do nothing every day

That's just not how living goes

If you're lucky you will know

That there is a way

At the end of the day

Everything is ok

You're still a kid
