Kids in ’99

[Verse 1]
I'm thinkin' 'bout those kids
I'm thinkin' 'bout those kids back in '99
The gas leakin' in the creek
A firecracker, then a spark
In a moment they were

[Refrain]
Gone, gone
Gone, gone

[Verse 2]
Our house shaken by the blast
Black smoke billowing off the landscape
Sirens crying through the streets
With choppers hovering like vultures above a meal

[Refrain]
Gone, gone
Gone, gone
Gone, gone
Gone, gone

[Bridge]
In the waters where we used to swim
Where we thought we would be young forever
The beads that glistened on your sunburnt skin
Evaporated in the flames and embers

[Verse 3]
I'm thinkin' 'bout those kids
I'm thinkin' 'bout those kids back in '99
And wonder who they would've been
For not a spark and a flash
And the moment they were

[Refrain]
Gone, gone
Gone, gone
Gone, gone
Gone, gone
Gone, gone
Gone, gone
