“Just a Kid” combines nostalgic garage-rock guitars with Jamie’s intimate late-night-drive melodies to voice the universal desire to prolong childhood as long as we can.

Intro
Mmm
V
Something’s wrong but I don’t know what
I can’t put my finger on it
I’m too young to be tripping out
Over all this shit
PC
And it's the third time this week
That my eyeliner has stained my cheeks
And I reek of cigarettes and regrets
They say it gets easier but not for me
CH
I'm just a kid
What am I supposed to do
My mistakes
Are getting hard to excuse
Sleeping in, running late, losing time, god I hate
Growing up
I’m just a kid
Chaotic and confused
Kinda miss
Being told what to do
I'm so lost I confess
Do my best but it's never enough
God I hate—
V2
It's so hard to be twenty two
And not know where to go
It’s a sign of the times im in
A part of getting old
And I know it's temporary
Like those jeans I thought were edgy
But they don’t fit no more
PC
And it's the third time this week
That my eyeliner has stained my cheeks
And I reek of cigarettes and regrets
They say it gets easier but not for me
CH
I'm just a kid
What am I supposed to do
My mistakes
Are getting hard to excuse
Sleeping in, running late, losing time, god I hate
Growing up
I’m just a kid
Chaotic and confused
Kinda miss
Being told what to do
I'm so lost I confess
Do my best but it's never enough
God I hate growing up

Something’s wrong but I don’t know what

Sleeping in, running late, losing time, god I hate
Growing up

Do my best but it's never enough
God I hate growing up
