A Kid Thing Lyrics

We hang to time like it's a lifeline

Never expected to become infected

Never intended to have to defend it

When I close my eyes

I go back in time

Driving a red intrepid

Listening to kid rock

A world before Instagram

Facebook or tiktok

Scared to take a chance

Like Learning a new dance

Instead of Having plans

To advance in romance

You're stuck in a trance

A spell I overlooked at first glance

Moving backwards

To try and extend it

Thought it would go long ago

I Tried to Pretend it never happened

Let's shout and start this song out

By deflating all doubt

So that we can sprout

I only let you go to set you free

You were so conflicted baby

It was a kid thing we were lying

That's what kids do

I only let go to set you free

It never stopped me from loving you

I knew then that I'd

Never find a love like you again

I never stopped me from loving you

I only let go to set you free

What did you say that day at the lake

I can't go back there

My heart will break

Thinking will create shade

Notion of being scared it won't fade

I Pretended not to be affected

But time will unlink

To keep me connected

You see that soft spot

In the center of my heart

The end was just the first stage

A cosmopolitan and irony of sage

Making better decisions

with wisdom and age

Being young in a flash

Or in the blink of an eye

Your looking back asking yourself

Are you really ready to die

I only let you go to set you free

You were so conflicted baby

It was a kid thing we were lying

That's what kids do

I only let go to set you free

I knew then that I would

Never find a love like you again

My insecurities

Created these theories of untruths Making me believe

My heart was too open

That you had stolen my emotion

I felt so broken should've chosen

To show you

How love could cross the ocean

Instead I misled to avoid complicated

Remixing life to a new ignition

Can you understand it's encryption

I knew what I had to do

I couldn't ignore that little girl

That needed you more

So I left that house

Out on north shore

To free you from the division

I accepted your eviction

I only let you go to set you free

You were so conflicted baby

It was a kid thing we were lying

That's what kids do

I only let go to set you free

I only let go to set you free

You held my heart

From the very beginning

I Struck out the very first inning

I was too scared no matter

How much wishing

You had a life before we ever existed

So

I only let you go to set you free baby

You were so conflicted baby

It was a kid thing we were lying

That's what kids do

I only let go to set you free

Never stopped me from loving you

I knew then that I'd

Never find a love like you again

Never find a love like you again

Let's shout and end this song out

By deflating all doubt

So that we can sprout

I only let go to set you free

You were so conflicted baby

It was a kid thing we were lying

That's what kids do

I only let go to set you free

I knew that I'd

Never find a love like you again
