'Cause it was Bell Biv DeVoe, playing on my radio And I had Wu-Tang Clan living in my stereo Mama said we're 6th generation Oregonians I was rocking in Jordans with reflector tongues Two kids with wet cement living down in their souls They say what gets caught when you're young Stays there when you're old So misunderstood they say You're up to no good And now we're trying our best To start it over again If I'd had met you at the playground Before a hand could tear your world down Before I slammed down the door and You said I'm just like my old man Before I put you in those boxes And we learned how to disagree And how your family is a rocket That blows up in infidelity For crying out loud I wanna know How the waves keep on crashing down the doors Feel the weight of the world and they keep on bringing more If it's just you and me on the floor Go grab your coat and I'll drive us home Like we were just kids Just, j-j-just kids J-j-just kids, just, just kids Like we were just kids Just kids, j-j-just kids J-j-just kids, j-j-just kids Bob Marley was painted on My high-school walls But I just disappeared Into the darkroom hall Never thought I'd ever Make it quite this far Teacher put up my photographs Say "son you'll be a star" It was smoking mirrors Running down through my veins I kept on running downtown Running from God's grace Every morning I'd climb back through Those window panes And try my best to ride it out Over instrumental tapes If I'd had met you at the playground Before a hand could tear your world down Before I slammed down the door and You said I'm just like my old man Before I put you in those boxes And we learned how to disagree And how your family is a rocket That blows up in infidelity For crying out loud I wanna know How the waves keep on crashing down the doors Feel the weight of the world and they keep on bringing more If it's just you and me on the floor Go back and come in, I'll drive us home Like we were just kids Just, j-j-just kids J-j-just kids, just, just kids Like we were just kids Just kids, j-j-just kids J-j-just kids, j-j-just kids I can feel it in the way we try I can feel it in the way we fight We're standing side by side Like we were just kids I can feel it in the way we try I can feel it in the way we fight We're standing side by side Like we were just kids I can feel it in the way we try I can feel it in the way we fight We're standing side by side Like we were just kids I can feel it in the way we try I can feel it in the way we fight We're standing side by side Like we were just kids
