We Were Only Kids Then by Dylan Owen Music published on 2020-01-17T05:44:06Z My new standalone single "We Were Only Kids Then" is out now. Inspired by the great experiment of being present. Stream on Spotify or Apple here: http://ffm.to/wewereonlykidsthen ‘We Were Only Kids Then’ Lyrics 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 five years later we'll 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 "gotta try the CBD, it's 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 Ten years later we'll look back on five 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 want to 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 we'll look back on right now And say we were only kids then Yeah, we were only kids then We were only kids then That’s what we say Yeah, we were only kids then We were only kids then And we were only kids then We were only kids then We were only kids then We were only kids then Yeah we were only kids then We were only kids then Someone's in your backseat throwing up You lean over and ask me is this growing up? Yeah someone's in your backseat throwing up As you lean over and ask me is this growing up? Yeah someone's in your backseat throwing up You lean over and ask me is this growing up? Yeah someone's in your backseat throwing up And 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 kind of like An anthem about living in the present moment Because if we’re gonna look back on right now And see it as a million years ago at any point in time in life Then what good is anything besides living here in the present moment Don’t forget Don’t forget I say we were only We were only kids then Genre Dylan Owen Comment by Tayronto hard 2020-02-09T20:33:00Z Comment by FarleyCZ I love this tracks so much.
