lyrics

STILL FEEL LIKE A KID
And I’d heard stories of the change to come
And I know I’m no different from anyone
But I really felt I’d have a place to be
In a city that would never keep up with me

But as this year comes to a close
I find the opposite has come true

And people might say that I’ve grown into a capable man
But inside I still feel like a kid
And you can say that everything has gone according to plan
Doesn’t change I still feel like a kid

I wasn’t ready for your call that day
Still unaware of all the terror fate would send our way
I wasn’t ready for it all to change
The man so close to me transfigured into someone strange

And the rock I used for balance
Was pulled out from under me

And people might say that this tragedy will help me grow up
But inside I still feel like a kid
And you can say that I was brave to fly home to him
But when I saw him I felt just like a kid all over again

And though it doesn’t make much of a difference
Could you please let me know when trouble’s on its way?
You see I’ll still get crushed either way
