When I Was A Kid Lyrics

When I was a kid I was innocent

But now life's different

What happened when I was a kid

Time to dig the past up, I don't know what's left

Like a time capsule that I forget

But can't forget manhunt running from my friends

Now life's a game of manhunt running from regret

We'd play Grounders by the swing sets

And road Hockey, always moving our net

Or Mario Kart on the DS

If you listen and relate, then put your foot in

When I was a kid (Each peach pear plum)

Ya, when I was a kid (Playing truth or dare cuz)

Ya, When I was a kid (Nah we didn't care much)

When I was a kid

When I was a kid

When I was a kid (Sky blue, sky blue)

Ya, When I was a kid (All out but you)

When I was a kid (With a crush at school)

When I was a kid

When I was a kid

When I was a kid

And if I sit down with the kid that I was

Would he be proud of who he has become?

Or would he look down on me

Seeing the untapped potential I have in me full of disgust?

Dear Younger Chris, I wrote this because

I know that you're needing someone and you wanna feel loved

I'll explain so you understand where you'll go wrong

One day you'll meet someone that you don't expect

Two friends from your school name her at recess

Now, at about this time it's Winter, Grade 6

You'll have an iPod, which is why you will text this girl just to get a response

She gets you excited but never responds

She makes you feel comfortable inside her arms

But leaves you abandoned when life becomes hard

Still, you'll get curious cuz she is beautiful

Now you wanna get to know her much more and so

Then you'll go deeper and deeper and show your soul

This is the part where the story gets sour though

She doesn't have a soul

She takes off her veil and reveals

That she's really a demon and this whole time she's been

Plotting and scheming to ruin your life and kill all of your freedom

She pulls out a knife and she taunts you before

She then stabs you a million times in the back

And while there is blood pouring out of that hole in your chest

She'll seduce you and ask for you back

And when you say no, she'll get vicious but vow to meet all of your wishes

She swears no rejection, she promises safety inside of a prison

But the only twist is no true love can get in

Chris, I'm sorry I'm noticing now

When you meet Porn you'll be only a child

11 years old, man I regret it now

I'm sorry I'm just so damn mad at myself

I wish you'd be happy, I wish you'd be free

But sadly you won't and it's because of me

I failed you, I'm sorry, you gave me belief

But I spat in your face, man I'm not who you dreamed you would grow up to be
