Kid - Dahlia Nemlich

When I was a kid I wanted to be so many things.
Dreams were big, thoughts were clear;
Didn't have no questions, no fear;
Remember how time didn't matter (2x)

When I was a kid, I wanted to be the president;
And find solutions to all that human pollution.
When I was a kid I wanted to be a mother;
Have a house full of children, with a perfect little husband;
When I was a kid I wanted to be a celebrity;
Feel important, feel alive;
In this ocean of anonymity

Imagine how growing up can be so damaging,
Falling from so high (2x)
Imagine how growing up can be so heartbreaking,
I'm there for you now (2x)
Yea...

Remember how time didn't matter (2x)

When I was a kid I wanted to be a vagabond,
Always asking for smile;
Travelling from town to town;
When I was a kid I wanted to be a paper plane
Have the feeling I could fly;
And the whole world in front of my eyes
When I was a kid I wanted to be a videogame,
A simple code on my computer-
To put my shit back all together
When I was kid I wanted to be a firework
I could glow, I could shine; never ever feel left behind

Imagine how growing up can be so damaging
Falling from so high (2x)
Imagine how growing up can be so heartbreaking
I'm there for you now (2x)

Yay... Yay...

When I was a kid I wanted to be the chosen one
Thought there was a purpose to all of that
And realized there was not
Life gets rough; it's not enough to be a dreamer
You don't get to choose, you get to prove you're a survivor
One day it stops you fall from the top
To climb back much higher
I'll be there for you then... (2x)
