Lost Years – Just Kids lyrics

I was walking down main street to the corner stone
To get my cigarettes and to pick my poison of the day
I was walking down main street to the county fair
To see all the people that I never wanted to see but
The fireworks reminded me of when I was just a kid and
Now were doing all the things that we'll never say we did
And the fire in those brown eyes were telling me
"if you ever stop then I'll never finish"
And we were still just kids

We were taking long drags and breathing smoke
We were the young and the restless and invincible
Stayed up all night, we were the kings and the queens
Of the shorelines. Now we're getting older and doing all
The things that we said we'd never do but we did em and
We did them well

And the fireworks reminded me of
When I was just a kid and now were
Doing all the things that we'll never say
We did and the fire in those brown eyes
Were telling me "if you ever stop then I'll
Never finish" and we were still just kids

Basking in the sunlight
Staying out past midnight
We were the coolest kids
And we took it all in stride

We were taking long drags and breathing smoke
We were the young and the restless and invincible
Stayed up all night. We never wanted to fight when
We were just kids
