When we were younger We had nothing to do So we'd close our eyes And spin around in circles Happy to hit the ground Or happy to just fall down When we were younger We'd go down to the park We'd catch all the fireflies We'd put 'em in jars We never knew that they'd die We never really thought that far I'm not the kid you knew Im not the kid you remember When we were younger We were scared of the dark So we closed our eyes We pulled the sheets over our heads We didn't want to see what's there Like the shadows under the bed And now that I'm older I look back on those days I wish I had them back Cuz the shadows are gone Or at least they're not that strong As the shadows in my head I'm not the kid you knew I'm not the kid you remember I'm not the kid you knew I'm not the kid you remember In 1985 Well there was a picture taken with my name on it Climbin' an apple tree With blue shoes You'd think it was me I could swear it was you I'm not the kid you knew I'm not the kid you remember I'm not the kid you knew I'm not the kid you remember I'm not the kid you knew I'm not the kid you remember I'm not the kid you knew I'm not the kid you remember
