Kids
Saints of Valory Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We were just kids
With our hopes with our dreams, with our faults
We were just boys
Run away loving the ghost town of heart
Welcome to my story,
To the story of my life
I wont leave you behind
I wont leave you in the dark
So, so take me, wont you take me back to the start
The train tracks and sparks
To the train tracks and sparks
Whoa, whoa, coming home, whoa
And why we lay here, we learn to persevere
We love to persevere, we love to persevere
We were just kids
We were just boys
Run away loving the ghost town of heart
Welcome to my story,
I wont leave you behind
I wont leave you in the dark
So, so take me, wont you take me back to the start
The train tracks and sparks
To the train tracks and sparks
Whoa, whoa, coming come, whoa
And why we lay here, we learn to persevere
We love to persevere, we love to persevere
Free ride to freedom, free ride to freedom,
Free ride to freedom, free ride to freedom
We love to persevere, we love to persevere
Whoa, whoa, coming come, whoa
And why we lay here, we learn to persevere
We love to persevere, we love to persevere




We were just kids
Free ride to freedom, free ride to freedom
