Ben Rector - Kids Lyrics






I saw a photograph
From ten years back
It's you and I, we're standing in the rain
Somewhere outside Atlanta
And I think my 12 seat van
Is right there out of frame

This was before I knew my way around Los Angeles
Before I ever cared about nice neighborhoods
We were driving through the night, sleeping on hotel floors
And thinking that we had it good

We were kids back then
Thinking we would live forever
We were kids back then...
We were wild and free
Taking on the world together
We were kids back then...
That's how we're always gonna be

Ask 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 our
Stupid reasons we lost touch
It was just because

We were kids back then
Thinking we would live forever
We were kids back then, you and me
We were wild and free
Taking on the world together
We were kids back then...
That's how we're always gonna be

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 had

Five thirty in the morning
And we're awake again
You are holding baby Jane
I lean in to take a picture
When it hits me
In 20 years I will look back and say

We were kids back then
Thinking we would live forever
We were kids back then...
We're so young and free
Taking on the world together
We were kids back then...
That's how we're always gonna be

We were kids back then
Thinking we would live forever
We were kids back then, you and me
We were wild and free
Taking on the world together
We were kids back then...
That's how we're always gonna be
That's how we're always gonna be
Oh, that's how we're always gonna be

    Somewhere outside Atlanta, and I think my twelve-seat van

    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
    We were kids back then, thinkin' we could live forever
    We were kids back then
    We were wild and free, takin' all the world together
    We were kids back then
    That's how we're always gonna be
    Passed an old friend on my timeline who had lately been on my mind

    If we sat down for a drink I think we'd forget all the stupid reasons
    We lost touch (we lost touch)

    We were kids back then, thinkin' we could live forever
    We were kids back then, you and me

    You are one of the best artists I have ever found randomly. Thank you YouTube suggestions. love from India:)

  52. J.... L....

    Love this!

  53. J.... S....

    Tried to find a reason to dislike this album because the last one was one of the best singer-songwriter albums of all-time and had such an impact in my life when it came out. Fast forward and I now love this album. Ben is a master of his craft and the not enough of the world knows. Thank you Ben.

  54. J.... S....

    Random fact, our 4 month old LOVES this song. He bounces every time the chorus comes on and gets a huge smile. Dancing with him to this song is the highlight of the day. Thanks for these memories <3

    I absolutely adore this song. Made me cry out of nowhere the first time I heard it...so much nostalgia and yet excitement for where I'm going to be in ten years' time to be able to look back and say, "I was such a kid back then." Just an amazing song and album, love your music!

  59. C.... B....

    Anyone else cry when he sang the bridge? Just me? Cool.
