Kid in Me (feat. Astèr Fekre)

We been outta touch so long

Since you said, why so serious, why so grown

It’s like I feel I finally see what I gave up on

So I guess I’m reachin’ out, yeah

This yo song, for real

And even though I left, ain’t no love lost

Finally paid the price on what love costs

Full circle came around on my full moon

For turnin’ my back on what I love most

And now I just sit around

And reminisce on when I looked ahead

When I really should’ve looked within

And I’m just hopin’ that you’re still there

Hopin’ that you still care enough

To raise your glass to new beginnings

Told me life is a wine glass you’ll never finish

I was focussed on high-class, I’ll never fit in

See everything you spoke to me was a joke to me then but goddamn you wasn’t kiddin’

Feelin’ like I feel too much, (yeah)

And I sorta think that I care too much (I swear I care too much)

All this small business

Wanna take it back to when life was the simplest (yo)

Lot of life left still in me

I’m reachin’ out to the kid in me (I’m reachin’ out y’all)

Not livin’ is killin’ me (yeah)

So give life to the kid in me, uhuh

Now that I’m older I feel I’m chasin’ the time

Constantly in fear I might be wastin’ my time

Used to have the confidence I’ll make it in time

But I will not be young forever, will I make it in time?

And all the sad stories that appealed to me

Kinda all just got a little too real to me

I mean I used to feel like life is just a joyride

When I was in the backseat

But then whoever drove it gave the wheel to me

And now I’m just a sucker for a happy end

I guess I’m not the superhero that I thought I am

Or thought I was, whatever I thought I’d be

It appears I’m not the glorious prince on a white steed

The aim was gettin’ bigger not bitter, the more I’ve grown

The more I find it hard to love the stories of my own, I mean

I hardly get excited anymore

I just wanna take it back to how I lived my life before

Feelin’ like I feel too much, (yeah)

And I sorta think that I care too much (too much) (oh yeah)

All this small business

Wanna take it back to when life was the simplest (take it back, take it back, yeah)

Lot of life left still in me

I’m reachin’ out to the kid in me (I’m reachin’ out ya)

Not livin’ is killin’ me (yeah)

So give life to the kid in me, uhuh (kid in me)

Ou, ou, ou, ou

Give life to the kid in me, ah

Ou, ou, ou, ou

Give life to the kid in me, ah

Yeah

And it goes a lil’ some like

Hardly get some rest when I’m asleep

Always daydream when I’m awake

Tryna find the kid inside of me

He ain’t been seein’ the light of day

This kid is so real, so real (so real)

It lives inside of me

This kid is so real, so real, Yeah

(Oh)

Feelin’ like I feel too much, (yeah yeah)

And I sorta think that I care too much (too much)

All this small business

Wanna take it back to when life was the simplest (ah yeah) (uh)

Lot of life left still in me

I’m reachin’ out to the kid in me (I’m reachin’ out ya) (oouuu)

Not livin’ is killin’ me

So give life to the kid in me, uhuh

Ou, ou, ou, ou

Give life to the kid in me, ah (say)

Ou, ou, ou, ou (say you ah)

Give life to the kid in me, ah

Ou, ou, ou, ou

Give life to the kid in me, ah (kid in me) Ou, ou, ou, ou

Give life to the kid in me, ah (aha) (whoo)
