Not a Kid Anymore - Kid Astray

Looking back to those days

So naive and so embraced

Thought that dance could make it rain

Having a childish view

Of the world that surrounded you

Everything in it felt so huge

The only worry that you got was to get home before the dark

Put on your running shoes and make it back in time

But you’ll never be a kid again

Nothing will make you feel the same

Maybe it’s time you finally change that point of view

You keep going on about how you’re never, ever gonna go home

Oh, no, can’t come running back now that you’re on your own

You know that you’ve grown out of us and you’ve been dying to go, so long

Mother, don’t you see, I’m not a kid anymore

Calm in the summer heat

Felt the grass beneath your feet

Now everything feels so incomplete

Stuck in a photograph and it won’t release you

It has frozen a moment you won’t ever see again

There’s so many colors in the white

How can you see what’s wrong or right

Seems too hard and you just don’t know what to do

No longer time to be at ease

You can’t survive the memories

You were oblivious to what you thought you knew

You keep going on about how you’re never, ever gonna go home

Oh, no, can’t come running back now that you’re on your own

You know that you’ve grown out of us and you’ve been dying to go, so long

Mother, don’t you see, I’m not a kid anymore
