We Were Only Kids - TAIGA

I was sad, I was romantic I was taking all the drugs in the attic And you weren't scared The light was electric You were saying that love is pedantic And we were kids And life was ephemeral You still laughed at comedy central Through the wires, through the heat Through the wires, through the heat And I can't figure you out And I can't figure you out And I can't figure you out And I was broke, you were Manhattan Throwing stones on the ferry to Staten And you're alone, out on the weekends No-one knows exactly how it could happen But we were kids And life's an invention You still asked your parents your questions Through the wires, through the heat Through the wires, through the heat And I can't figure you out And I can't figure you out And I can't figure you out You're driving past my apartment I know it's not what you wanted Broke down, you're fine undercover Grown up, but I can't figure you out Sat on the hood of your friend's car A cigarette hanging off your Lipstick, your head on my shoulders So close, but I can't figure you out You're driving past my apartment I know it's not what you wanted Broke down, you're fine undercover Grown up, but I can't figure you out Sat on the hood of your friend's car A cigarette hanging off your Lipstick, your head on my shoulders So close, but I can't figure you out You're driving past my apartment I know it's not what you wanted Broke down, you're fine undercover Grown up, but I can't figure you out Sat on the hood of your friend's car A cigarette hanging off your Lipstick, your head on my shoulders So close, but I can't figure you out

Guess it's kind of funny, looking back at those times Getting in playground fights, holding me back Saved my life like once or twice We moved to the city, I was staying out most nights Hanging with the wrong guys You pulled me back Saved my life like once or twice Didn't wanna be young, Didn't wanna be young Yeah we were in such a rush, but what a rush I know we grew apart, we grew up, though I loved you so much I never said it enough, could never say enough We were just kids We had each other, you're still with me 'Cause you had my back, I had your back You carry me Lifted me up, onto your shoulders when I couldn't see 'Cause you had my back, I had your back You carry me We were just kids, we were just kids Yeah we were just kids, we were just kids In the street playing ball, yeah So how'd you even get so tall, yeah The summers got to turn into fall, yeah I swear it's like we've been through it all, yeah Hear our mum and dad fighting Hiding in my room like we're tryna dodge lighting Riding in my car, let's forget and get ice cream Don't you ever wonder where those nights went? Didn't wanna be young, Didn't wanna be young Yeah we were in such a rush, but what a rush I know we grew apart, we grew up, though I loved you so much I never said it enough, could never say enough We were just kids We had each other, you're still with me 'Cause you had my back, I had your back You carry me Lifted me up, onto your shoulders when I couldn't see 'Cause you had my back, I had your back You carry me We were just kids, we were just kids Yeah we were just kids, we were just kids Didn't wanna be young, Didn't wanna be young Yeah we were in such a rush, but what a rush I know we grew apart, we grew up, though I loved you so much I never said it enough, could never say enough We were just kids We had each other, you're still with me Cause you had my back, I had your back You carry me Lifted me up, onto your shoulders when I couldn't see Cause you had my back, I had your back You carry me We were just kids We had each other, you're still with me Cause you had my back, I had your back You carry me Lifted me up, onto your shoulders when I couldn't see Cause you had my back, I had your back You carry me We were just kids, we were just kids

Walking these streets again, thinking back when I was ten When my bike got stolen and dad, he drove me Till we found that old thing in In that sketchy parking lot, behind the market that's long gone Where I used to roll that shopping cart down every aisle with mom I miss when Back when we were kids and the world was ours Back when we were kids, before all the scars Back when we were kids, swore we'd never part Back when we were kids, everything felt like this Back when we were kids, everything felt like this Back when we were kids It's been playing in my head, seeing these posters above my bed About the first night that I got drunk, and everything we said All we talked about was girls and booze, but we never had a plan And the only thing we ever knew, is when the cops showed up we ran I miss when Back when we were kids and the world was ours Back when we were kids, before all the scars Back when we were kids, swore we'd never part Back when we were kids, everything felt like this Back when we were kids, everything felt like this Back when we were kids Every road, driving in I was so innocent Reminiscient about trying to get the explicit edition of Eminem Man, back when we were kids again When we only went to movies for the back row When we only needed chalk and the asphalt We knew this would happen To be back to back to back, back when, back when, back when, back when Back when we were kids and the world was ours Back when we were kids, before all the scars Back when we were kids, swore we'd never part Back when we were kids, everything felt like this Back when we were kids and the world was ours Back when we were kids, before all the scars Back when we were kids, swore we'd never part Back when we were kids, everything felt like this Back when we were kids
