Morgan Johnston - Kids for a Minute Lyrics

Life seems so simple when you're five years old
Riding our new bikes through every puddle in the road
Didn't know any better but I've learned that's better
'Cause as time goes on it takes something from your soul

Funny how I wanted to grow up so fast
Now I'm just trying to find my way back

To when colors weren't made for skin
They were meant for drawing with
And mirrors were for funny faces
Not for hating yourself naked
A day in the sun was magic
All of your dreams could happen
A lot less hate, a lot morе love
Yeah sometimеs I just wish that
We could be kids for a minute

When did I start dreading a Monday morning?
Giving all my time to what's not important
When did our neighbors start feeling like strangers?
When it's our nature to let love in

Don't know why I wanted to grow up so fast
'Cause I'm just trying to find my way back

To when colors weren't made for skin
They were meant for drawing with
And mirrors were for funny faces
Not for hating yourself naked
A day in the sun was magic
All of your dreams could happen
A lot less hate, a lot more love
Yeah sometimes I just wish that
We could be kids for a minute
We could be kids for a minute

Building forts instead of walls
Knowing more than we thought
Back when we were enough
And life was lived and love was love
