Kids
Justyn Dow Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Started out a couple kids
Met each other through our friends
Getting drunk and making plans
We had each other, we had no care at all
We had never known love before
We never wanted nothing more
We were young and innocent
Working hard to pay our rent

Big dreams but we weren't scared
With each other, we knew we had it all
Just a couple kids before
Who never wanted nothing more
And I said, mmmmmmmm
Mmmmmmmmm
Mmmmmmmmm
Just a couple of kids who never wanted nothing more
So we got a little house
I got a job, we had no fear at all
Wanted kids, so we tried
Never knew, the tears it'd make us cry
But we end up with two
And they both looked just like you
Watched em grow and made a life
It goes fast when you do it right
Taking trips on holidays
We had each other we had no care at all
Just a couple of kids before
Who never wanted nothing more
And I said, mmmmmmmm
Mmmmmmmmm
Mmmmmmmmm
Just a couple of kids who never wanted nothing more
Before you know, you're growing old
It goes fast even when it's slow
But our love never changed
You stood by me until my final days
We never wanted nothing more
We had never known love before
We had it all, didn't we?
I had you, and you had me
Just our little fairytale
All I know is good love never fails
Just a couple of kids before

Who never wanted nothing more
We're just a couple of kids who never wanted nothing more

Overall Meaning

The song “Kids” by Justyn Dow is a beautiful tribute to a life-long love that started between two young and innocent people. The song is about a couple who met through their friends and fell in love, and through the ups and downs of life, they remained together, grew old together, and died in each other's arms. The song is particularly poignant because it acknowledges that true love is hard to find, and when you do find it, it is important to cherish it and never let it go.

The first verse describes how the couple met through their friends, and they were just a couple of kids who had no care in the world. They had never experienced love before and didn't want anything more than each other's company. They were young and innocent, and they worked hard to pay their rent, but they had big dreams and were not afraid to follow them. The chorus repeats the phrase “Just a couple of kids who never wanted nothing more,” emphasizing that all they wanted was each other.

The second verse talks about how they got a little house, and the man got a job, and they wanted kids, but having kids was not easy, and it made them cry. They ended up having two kids who looked just like the man. The chorus repeats, and the couple takes trips on holidays, and they still had no care in the world because they had each other.

The final verse describes how they grew old together, and their love never changed. The woman stood by the man until his final days, and they had never wanted anything more than each other. The song ends on a sweet and nostalgic note, with the couple being “just a couple of kids” who never wanted anything more than each other.
