We're Just Kids
Dave Days Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We will become the greats of the worst mistakes
Won't fail to let you down
We got plenty of time to figure it out
I'm a mess
I'm a wreck
Worked hard to be
Screwed it up
But the blame on me
Doors locked left the light on in my bedroom
I won't be home tonight
Oh they tried to tell me (wrote it all out)
Their words went through me (fell the ground)
I must have missed the message (won't let it go)
And fell overboard
I fucked up but won't stop now
We will become the greats of the worst mistakes
Won't fail to let you down
We've got plenty of time to figure it out
We're just kids
Unprepared
Hardly care
Know that it'll work out
Wasted time
Far behind
Got my head in the clouds
I feel on top of the world and I'm not looking down
Oh they tried to tell me (wrote it all out)
Their words went through me (fell the ground)
I must have missed the message (won't let it go)
And fell overboard
I fucked up but won't stop now
We will become the greats of the worst mistakes
Won't fail to let you down
We've got plenty of time to figure it out
We're just kids
We're just kids
Waiting for the answers
Holding on to hope
Running out of chances
Won't let it go, won't let it go
Waiting for the answers
Holding on to hope
Running out of chances
Won't let it go, won't let it go
(I messed up but I won't stop now
We will become the greats of the worst mistakes
Won't fail to let you down
We got plenty of time to figure it out)
I fucked up but won't stop now
We will become the greats of the worst mistakes
Won't fail to let you down
We've got plenty of time to figure it out
I fucked up but won't stop now
We will become the greats of the worst mistakes
Won't fail to let you down
We've got plenty of time to figure it out

I think Dave wanted an excuse to make a video with a bunch of stuff getting smashed, so he wrote this song

I am glad I was teen during early 2000s so . Cut to present time 2021 I am feeling nostalgic about how I used to feel nostalgic back in the days when I used to listen to davedays during 2010s. Damn this is some next level nostalgiaception.
