Kids
Anja Kotar Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Another party
Another Friday night
Another talk that
Might turn into a fight
Too many faces
You only see online
Too many cases
Of faking by design

Wake up every morning just to go right back to sleep
Text everyone you already know you'll never meet
Dance alone around your room and get down to the beat
Wanna change the world
Twenty-one and feeling old (hey!)

Being young and engaged in the modern age
Only seen on the screen, internet's our stage
Reaching high, wondering why no one knows the pain
Got the world at our feet
But we're all just kids

Another movie
Another neon light
Another way to
Forget the life outside
Too many places
You only see online
"Love yourself, you can't be beat"
But honesty is scary so you go and hit delete

Wake up every morning just to go right back to sleep
Text everyone you already know you'll never meet
Dance alone around your room and get down to the beat
Wanna change the world
Twenty-one and feeling old (hey!)

Being young and engaged in the modern age
Only seen on the screen, internet's our stage
Reaching high, wondering why no one knows the pain
Got the world at our feet
But we're all just kids

Is it true that I'm connecting
Or reality rejecting
Just a second, it's my phone
Can we finish later on?
Is it true that I'm connecting
Or reality rejecting
Just a second, it's my phone
Can we finish later on?

Being young and engaged in the modern age
Only seen on the screen, internet's our stage
Reaching high, wondering why no one knows the pain
Got the world at our feet
But we're all just kids

Yeah we're all just kids
Yeah we're all just kids





Being young and engaged in the modern age
Only seen on the screen, internet's our stage
