Not a Kid Anymore Lyrics by Kid Astray

Home Before the Dark

2015

[Verse 1]
Looking back to those days
So naive and so embraced
Thought that dance could make it rain
Having a childish view
Of the world that surrounded you
Everything in it felt so huge
[Pre-Chorus 1]
The only worry that you got was to get home before the dark
Put on your running shoes and make it back in time
But you'll never be a kid again
Nothing will make you feel the same
Maybe it's time you finally change that point of view
[Chorus]
You keep going on about how you're never, ever gonna go home
Oh, no, can't come running back now that you're on your own
You know that you've grown out of us and you've been dying to go, so long
Mother, don't you see, I'm not a kid anymore
[Verse 2]
Calm in the summer heat
Felt the grass beneath your feet
Now everything feels so incomplete
Stuck in a photograph and it won't release you
It has frozen a moment you won't ever see again
[Pre-Chorus 2]
There's so many colors in the white
How can you see what's wrong or right
Seems too hard and you just don't know what to do
No longer time to be at ease
You can't survive the memories
You were oblivious to what you thought you knew
[Chorus] (x2)
You keep going on about how you're never, ever gonna go home
Oh, no, can't come running back now that you're on your own
You know that you've grown out of us and you've been dying to go, so long
Mother, don't you see, I'm not a kid anymore
