We Were Only Kids Then

We were only kids then
We were only kids then
Someday we'll look back on right now
And say "we were only kids then"

Bottle rockets in your eyes
I see the fireworks of the dawn kiss the night
I say I've found love in my lying voice
See what I realize there are no arrival points
Life is just a destination we've been speeding past
So if you ever steal the moment then don't keep it trapped
I think you might have lost a parent since I've seen you last
But I don't even ask

We just say "damn, we were only kids then"
We were only kids then
We were only we were only kids then
We were only kids then
That's what we say
And 5 years later we will look back on right now
And say "we were only kids then"

Those were the best times
Read all the red flags, blew all the red lights
Smoked all the tea leaves, called when our friends cried
Said all the right things, left at the right times
Now I'm still working on my demons trying to reclaim me
And you're still working early mornings so you remain clean
And I'm still working out the headaches of my teenage grief
You say I've gotta try the CBD its got no THC
This is how we make peace
You got your PHD , I think you beat me
Look I know you're a doctor but please, it's your job
I remember when we smoked weed with your mom

We were kids then
Yeah we were only kids then
We were only we were only kids then
We were only kids then
That's what we say
10 years later we'll look back on 5 years
And say " we were only kids then"

So all the secrets forget them
And all the times that we bled were to shed skin
And all the movie moments no one ever gets them
Riding through your hometown with your best friends
Windows down, bottles up, silver sun air is different
I wanna hold your wrinkled hand when your hair is missing
I want to help you build a world that you care to live in
Where all our broken promises are only vandalism
And we don't accept them
Culdesac kids who only know about dead ends
As we get older we digress into the distance
We used to follow our dreams

But we were only kids then
Yeah we were only kids then
We were only we were only kids then
We were only kids then
That's what we say
And someday well look back on right now
And say " we were only kids then"
Yeah we were only kids then
We were only kids then
Yeah we were only kids then
Don't forget, don't forget
We were only kids then

Someones in your backseat throwing up
You lean over and ask me "is this growing up?"
Yeah someones in your backseat throwing up
As you lean over and ask me "is this growing up?"
Yeah someones in your backseat throwing up
You lean over and ask me "is this growing up?"
Yeah someones in your backseat throwing up
You lean over and ask me "is this growing up?"
I say "we were only kids then throwing up"
Now someone's in your backseat growing up
I say "we were only kids then throwing up"
Now someone's in your backseat growing up
I say "we were only kids then throwing up"
Now someone's in your backseat growing up
I say "we were only kids then throwing up"
Now someone's in your backseat all grown up

This is kinda like an anthem about living in the present
Cause if we're gonna look back on right now
And see it as a million years ago at any point and time in life
Then what good is anything than besides living here in the present

I say "we were only, we were only kids then"
