Kids Like Us

(album: The Echo - 2012)

And I'll turn eighteen on a Sunday
And it'll be the day I've waited for
Mom will bake cake and there'll be presents
Like there always was before
But if time keeps moving just like this
Then it won't be soon before I'm old

And they will all be wishing they could just be kids like us
And they will all be wishing they could just be kids like us
But I'm getting older with each day
And soon I'll be wishing too

And on the eve of my fifth birthday
When my father found me in tears
And I've always been fearless
But scared of oncoming years
And he tried to make it alright
And he told me not to cry

And they will all be wishing they could just be kids like us
And they will all be wishing they could just be kids like us
But I'm getting older with each day
And soon I'll be wishing too

It's easy to remember
When everything was calm
Two hands on the bike I rode
Just me and my mom
But I haven't rode in a long while
Now we drive most of the time

And they will all be wishing they could just be kids like us
And they will all be wishing they could just be kids like us
But I'm getting older with each day
And soon I'll be wishing too
And soon I'll be wishing too
