Kids Like Us

And I'll turn eighteen on a Sunday And it'll be the day I've waited for Mom will bake cake and there'll be presents Like there always was before But if time keeps moving just like this Then it won't be soon before I'm old And they will all be wishing they Could just be kids like us And they will all be wishing they Could just be kids like us But I'm getting older with each day And soon I'll be wishing too And on the eve of my fifth birthday When my father found me in tears And I've always been fearless But scared of oncoming years And he tried to make it alright And he told me not to cry And they will all be wishing they Could just be kids like us And they will all be wishing they Could just be kids like us But I'm getting older with each day And soon I'll be wishing too It's easy to remember When everything was calm With two hands on my bike I rode Just me and my mom But I haven't rode in a long while Because I drive most of the time And they will all be wishing they Could just be kids like us And they will all be wishing they Could just be kids like us But I'm getting older with each day And soon I'll be wishing too And soon I'll be wishing too --- Kids Like Us - Maggie Rogers
