when i was a kid ft. Joel Woods Lyrics

When I was kid

Never thought that I would grow up

Never thought that God would show up

Never thought that I was enough

Yeah

When I was a kid

Always thought that dad was a genius

Always thought that bro was the meanest

Always thought that mom was the sweetest

Some days it looks bad

Some days it looks bright

Some days I can't fight

Some days it's just life

I really wish that I could go back

No regrets I'm really just sad

Never said I love you like that

Never really hugged you like that

Always just sat in the back playing Nickelback

iPod blasting Photograph

It was like a minivan soundtrack on the way to outback

After Sunday service

Learned about Daniel and the furnace

We made songs from the verses

I don't have to tell you but

I know what growing up in church is

Do what your told and the devil won't get you

I wish it was really that simple

I'm not even trying to be sinful

I'm just trying to show love

But sometimes I mess up

Like when I was a kid in Connecticut

When I was kid

When I was a

When I was a kid

When I was a

When I was a kid

I was trying to make space and escape from the place I lived

And when I was a kid

I would act out just to feel something embracing risk

And when I was a kid

If anybody talked shit first thought was to raise a fist

Just blame anything when the anger hit

And take it out on myself when I aimed and missed

So I talked it out and the doctor prescribed

He said take this it's an SSRI

We'll check in a month if you're feeling alright

Then asked if I'm focused I said well not quite

Then added a dose in for ADHD

Wasn't really sure if I could take these safely

Every time I missed a pill it would make me shaky

Wasn't really liking the way it changed me

I would rather feel low than numb

Once I got off all of that I really opened up

Emotions suck, but only when you close em shut

They're beautiful and really where the stories come

I still, mess up as it all unfolds

I weigh sin and I question what I've been told

I don't know how far I'll make it down this road

I'm just a kid trying to heal my soul
