Kids Like Us - Maggie Rogers

And I’ll turn eighteen on a Sunday

And it’ll be the day I’ve waited for

Mom will bake cake and there’ll be presents

Like there always was before

But if time keeps moving just like this

Then it won’t be soon before I’m old

And they will all be wishing they could just be kids like us

And they will all be wishing they could just be kids like us

But I’m getting older with each day

And soon, I’ll be wishing, too

And on the eve of my fifth birthday

When my father found me in tears

And I’ve always been fearless

But scared of oncoming years

And he tried to make it alright

And he told me not to cry

And they will all be wishing they could just be kids like us

And they will all be wishing they could just be kids like us

But I’m getting older with each day

And soon, I’ll be wishing, too

It’s easy to remember

When everything was calm

Two hands on the bike I rode

Just me and my mom

But I haven’t rode in a long while

Because I drive most of the time

And they will all be wishing they could just be kids like us

And they will all be wishing they could just be kids like us

But I’m getting older with each day

And soon, I’ll be wishing, too

And soon, I’ll be wishing, too
