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
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
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

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
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
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
We were kids back then, thinkin' we could live forever
We were kids back then, you and me
We were wild and free, takin' all 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 have
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
We were kids back then, thinkin' we would live forever
We were kids back then
We're so young and free, takin' all 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' all 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

The honesty in your songs is beautiful!
Good Job!
Why can’t I read comments?
I cried at the supper table tonight while listening to this song with my family. I am in the thick of raising young children... my husband and I smiled at each other through tears. This song reaches an alive part in me that was well-hidden and forgotten. THANK YOU, BEN!
My friends and I made a music video for this song! I think there's a whole lot of beauty in our youth, thank you so much for putting out this song and giving us an opportunity to create something beautiful. All rights to the song are yours, no doubt. But if you would like to see what we made check it out on my channel!
sometimes I feel so sad for you ben, hopelessly nostalgic for a childhood...
Amo estta canción. Todos los días debo escuchar a Ben si no mi día sería una basura ja ja ja
So Underrated

Why am I crying?
You are one of the best artists I have ever found randomly. Thank you YouTube suggestions. love from India:)
Love this!
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.
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
This guy reminds me of one republic
This so beautiful, keep up the good work ❤
This song is so true, i love Ben Rector
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!
Anyone else cry when he sang the bridge? Just me? Cool.
I love your music. Really inspiring.
Easily one of my favorite songs this year.
Reminds me of Then by Brad Paisley
SO GOOD
This song is like reading an old diary entry I never made but still remember. So many feels, man.
Another one Ben... nostalgia; I love it. I also love the ease with the flow
Come to Puerto Rico!
