Kids
Dylan Jakobsen Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We lit up like burning flames
Danced around like kids in rain
I talked you up when you're feeling down
Ran for miles through the town

Crossed the bridge where we both laughed
Singing songs and photographs
We'd Fall asleep to lullabies
Waking up into your eyes

Telling tales of our years past
Striking matches to the grass
Talking about what we've become
Were getting old but were still young

Summers come and summers go
We were kids destined to grow
Hold my hand and I'll hold yours too
I'll love you till we're black and blue





We lit up like burning flames
Danced around like kids in rain
