Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Guess it's kind of funny, looking back at those times

Getting in playground fights, holding me back

Saved my life like once or twice

We moved to the city, I was staying out most nights

Hanging with the wrong guys

You pulled me back

Saved my life like once or twice

[Verse 2]

Didn't wanna be young, didn't wanna be young

Yeah, we were in such a rush, but what a rush

I know we grew apart, we grew up, though I loved you so much

I never said it enough, could never say enough

[Verse 3]

We were just kids

We had each other, you're still with me

'Cause you had my back, I had your back

You carry me

Lifted me up, onto your shoulders when I couldn't see

'Cause you had my back, I had your back

You carry me

[Verse 4]

We were just kids, we were just kids

Yeah, we were just kids, we were just kids

[Verse 5]

In the street playing ball, yeah

So how'd you even get so tall, yeah

The summers got to turn into fall, yeah

I swear it's like we've been through it all, yeah

Hear our mum and dad fighting

Hiding in my room like we're tryna dodge lightning

Riding in my car, let's forget and get ice cream

Don't you ever wonder where those nights went?

[Verse 6]

Didn't wanna be young, didn't wanna be young

Yeah, we were in such a rush, but what a rush

I know we grew apart, we grew up, though I loved you so much

I never said it enough, could never say enough

[Verse 7]

We were just kids

We had each other, you're still with me

'Cause you had my back, I had your back

You carry me

Lifted me up, onto your shoulders when I couldn't see

'Cause you had my back, I had your back

You carry me

[Verse 8]

We were just kids, we were just kids

Yeah, we were just kids, we were just kids

[Verse 9]

Didn't wanna be young, didn't wanna be young

Yeah, we were in such a rush, but what a rush

I know we grew apart, we grew up, though I loved you so much

I never said it enough, could never say enough

[Verse 10]

We were just kids

We had each other, you're still with me

'Cause you had my back, I had your back

You carry me

Lifted me up, onto your shoulders when I couldn't see

'Cause you had my back, I had your back

You carry me

[Verse 11]

We were just kids

We had each other, you're still with me

'Cause you had my back, I had your back

You carry me

Lifted me up, onto your shoulders when I couldn't see

'Cause you had my back, I had your back

You carry me

We were just kids, we were just kids
