Only A Kid At Heart
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
There you are crying grown up tears
But they're coming from your childhood fears
I know you're only a kid at heart
In this world of compromise
Come over here and dry your eyes
Sometimes everything falls apart, I know
When you're only a kid at heart
From a childhood memory (my heart)
To a place we'll never see
Look what we've done
Once you were safe and warm
Now life's an endless storm
Always waking you in the dark
Now you're built of faith and fear
Trying to make it through the year
It's hard to figure out a place to start, I know
When you're only a kid at heart
From a childhood memory (you know my heart)
To a place we'll never see
Look what you've done
In the time it takes
Through each mistake
See what you've become
I know you're only a kid at heart
(I know you're only a kid at heart)
I know you're only a kid at heart
Started out as a bedtime story
Turned into a fight for glory
Sometimes it's hard to make your mark
When you're only a kid at heart
Hard to tell
Where the stories end
And nighttime dreams begin
When you're only a kid at heart
(I know you're only a kid at heart)
I know you're only a kid at heart
