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 [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/a/america/only_a_kid_at_heart.html ]
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
