Maggie Rogers – Kids Like Us lyrics

[Verse 1]
And I'll turn eighteen on a Sunday
And it'll be the day I've waited for
Mom will bake cake and there'll be presents
Like there always was before
But if time keeps moving just like this
Then it won't be soon before I'm old

[Chorus 1]
And they will all be wishing they could just be kids like us
And they will all be wishing they could just be kids like us
But I'm getting older with each day
And soon I'll be wishing too

[Verse 2]
And on the eve of my fifth birthday
When my father found me in tears
And I've always been fearless
But scared of oncoming years
And he tried to make it alright
And he told me not to cry

[Chorus 1]
And they will all be wishing they could just be kids like us
And they will all be wishing they could just be kids like us
But I'm getting older with each day
And soon I'll be wishing too

[Verse 3]
It's easy to remember
When everything was calm
Two hands on the bike I rode
Just me and my mom
But I haven't rode in a long while
Now we drive most of the time

[Chorus 2]
And they will all be wishing they could just be kids like us
And they will all be wishing they could just be kids like us
But I'm getting older with each day
And soon I'll be wishing too
And soon I'll be wishing too
