Life Is Now
If the Kids Lyrics

They get a kick by kicking your teeth in
They enjoy hurting you physically and/or emotionally

With a pinch of salt and a bible grin
They put on a fake smile and act pious while causing harm

You cannot win
It's impossible to come out on top or prevail in this situation

They call our love a sin
They consider our love to be wrong or immoral

Turn the other cheek
They advise you to show forgiveness or patience, despite their actions

They'll break your chin
They're willing to hurt you, even if you don't fight back

When you kissed me in that lonely street
You showed me love and affection in a desolate place

All the windows growled and you bit my lip
We were met with disapproval and perhaps even hostility from onlookers

You said 'I'll set you free'
You promised to liberate and empower me

But windows speak
People are watching and judging us

And they hate our guts
They have strong and negative feelings toward us

Our lives are cheap
Our existence is not valued or respected

Life is now
We need to seize the moment and appreciate what we have

My life is now
I need to make the most of my own life

Your god is senile
Your religion or faith is misguided or outdated

Forbidden love is such an inspiration
Our love is more powerful and compelling because it's not approved of

If I'm a lamb you're my zion lion
I may seem meek or mild, but you give me strength and courage

I lick your teeth in front of anyone
I show my affection for you openly and without shame

Who says I'm too young for your mortal kingdom
Those who object to our relationship because of age differences or other reasons

To drive away I steal my parent's car
I'm willing to break the law or rebel against my family to be with you

Buy a pack of beer
I'm willing to take risks and have fun with you

Go fast Go far babe
We'll do whatever it takes to be together and create our own path

I burn the map and watch the northern star
We're not bound by societal norms or expectations, but rather guided by our own desires and dreams

Shining in the eyes of my sweet vampire
Your hypnotic and captivating nature draws me close and keeps me enchanted

When you kissed me I was cold as snake
Before I met you, I was emotionally distant or reserved

I was young but your lips had the taste of fate
Even though we were young, there was a sense that our connection was predestined or meant to be

You said 'I'll set you free'
You were committed to helping me break free from any constraints or limitations

And windows break
The negative opinions or interference from others begins to shatter

So I blew them out like my birthday cake
I celebrated my newfound liberation and autonomy like a birthday party
