I'm walking kicking up the leaves
You're talking, smiling down at me
And as the sky turns hazy
Tucked in I settle down to sleep
And now I'm looking back on everything I had
And I just let it go, so
Kids stay kids
You don't wanna grow up
You just gotta slow down
'Cause someday you'll turn around
And just wish you could do it again
How did my little brother turn eighteen?
It only feels like yesterday we were fighting, screaming,
But you still love 'cause you're family
And now my Sunday nights aren't spent around the table
And I'm working three jobs to keep life stable
Kids stay kids
You don't wanna grow up
You just gotta slow down
'Cause someday you'll turn around
And just wish you could do it again
Kids stay kids
Growing up's overrated
And when you find out you hate it, well
You can't go back to how you used to be
Just wanna go back home
'Cause I'm just scared of losing everything I know
I swear that I'll let go
But I'm still living in a world that we had back when we were kids
Stay kids
That's where I wanna be
'Cause even at 23
I feel the weight of the world on me
And I'd give anything to be fourteen
But we won't ever be kids again
So just pretend we're fine
And I don't wanna feel lost again
Just wanna feel alright
