The Smith Street Band - Kids lyrics

If there's one thing that I've learnt
It's that not all bad decisions turn out bad
Well, at least not yet
'cause in sheds like these I've shivered
Through some of the best times of my life
And I'm not dead yet
There's nothing as beautiful
As the scramble to the front row of a few
Enough people to keep your arms warm
But still not obstruct your view
Of the road-weary wanderers
With the really stoned drummer
Throwing sweat and beers
With the city that they're playing in's name
On the outside of the tin

And she stared straight into his
Soul on the broken step
He'd stared straight into everyone's with
His hair between his lips
And everything played out before me
Like the most obvious story
Of bravado and libido, some buzz word
Some dead hero i hope I can keep doing this
I'll keep staying off the piss
Well, at least before we play
'cause I remember them that way
I'm running from misheard conversations
Half-imagined explanations
My own undying frustration
And the feeling that there's
Something better than this

And I know you feel it too
And we grow stronger when we move
We're just kids staring at the sun
And we don't mean nothing to no one
And I know you feel it too
And we grow stronger when we move
We're just kids staring at the sun
And we don't mean nothing to no one

And who the fuck do I think I am
To stand here and scream just like
I've got some kind of plan?
And even if I did
I wouldn't have a single good
Thing to say about it
'Cause all that's in my
Head is recycled rhetoric
And smart things my parents have said
Nothing more and nothing less
I never once made any sense
Can't sit still long enough to
Let my hands rest
Speak open sounds at open sores
And hope and the ground
And know what people think I am
And what I am isn't the same thing
Wake every day and live a
Lifestyle lined with dying
And the overriding feeling there's
Something better than this

And I know you feel it too
And we grow stronger when we move
We're just kids staring at the sun
And we don't mean nothing to no one
And I know you feel it too
And we grow stronger when we move
We're just kids staring at the sun
And we don't mean nothing to no one

And I will let nothing age me
No matter how much I'm told
I have changed, changed, changed
And I will let nothing age me
No matter how much I'm told
I have changed, changed, changed

And I know you feel it too
And we grow stronger when we move
We're just kids staring at the sun
And we don't mean nothing to no one
And I know you feel it too
And we grow stronger when we move
We're just kids staring at the sun
And we don't mean nothing to no one
And I know you feel it too
And we grow stronger when we move
We're just kids staring at the sun
And we don't mean nothing to no one
