Those Kids (West)

[Verse 1]
Do you remember who we were when all of this began?
Half finished thoughts and pregnant pauses its not as though we had a plan
If keeping up with Joneses was a game, were we prepared to play?
Somebody’s daughter turning tricks just to make it through the day

[Chorus]
Remember passing time
Shooting stars
If only we were in charge
I don’t know where those kids are

[Verse 2]
I’ve heard it said that everything you own is gonna own you back
If that’s the case my equilibrium has gotten out of whack
Most days I feel as though I’m just a lapsing hypochondriac
Suspend your judgment for a moment if that’s not too much to ask

[Chorus]
Remember passing time
Shooting stars
If only we were in charge
I don’t know where those kids are
Where those kids are

[Bridge]
When they own you
When they own you
When it weighs too much
You are enough
You are enough
Sometimes this organized confession is all that I can stand
But in the absence of compassion it’s not the clothes that make the man

[Chorus: Variation]
Remember passing time
Shooting stars
If only we were in charge
I don’t know where those kids are
I don’t know where those kids are
I don’t know where those kids have been
I don’t know where those kids have been
Where those kids went
Where those kids went
Where those kids went
