Just Two Kids
Nostalgic Reflections: Journey from Childhood Friends to Life's Challenges
Lyrics
Hey childhood best friend where have you been
Addressing childhood best friend, inquiring about their whereabouts
So much has changed some good, some bad
Reflecting on changes in life, both positive and negative
But I miss the times that we had
Expressing nostalgia for past times shared with the friend
Where are you now
Seeking information about the friend's current location
Did you move out of town
Asking if the friend has moved out of town
One thing I know, as time winds down
Acknowledging the passage of time and its impact
I miss having you around
Expressing a longing for the friend's presence
No one told us life would be this hard
Reflecting on the unexpected challenges of life
Didn't think I get quite this far
Surprised by the progress in life, didn't expect to come this far
Just two kids, playing in the yard
Recalling the simplicity of childhood, playing in the yard
No one told us life would be this hard
Reiterating the unanticipated difficulties in life
Always loved to play pretend, dressing up as supermen (yeah)
Describing a shared love for imaginative play and superhero roleplay
You were always my robin, and I was batman
Characterizing the friend as "Robin" and the singer as "Batman"
We never had a fight we couldn't win
Highlighting a history of overcoming challenges together
No one told us life would be this hard
Reiterating the unexpected hardships in life
Didn't think I get quite this far
Surprised at personal progress in life
Just two kids, playing in the yard
Revisiting the image of two kids playing in the yard
No one told us life would be this hard
Emphasizing the unforeseen challenges in adulthood
I still like to play pretend,
Expressing a continued fondness for pretend play
Dressing up as another man
Acknowledging a willingness to take on different personas
If you could only see me,
Desiring the friend to see the singer's true self
for what I really am
Expressing a fear that revealing the true self may lead to rejection
You wouldn't want to be my friend,
Anticipating potential difficulty in maintaining the friendship
Where did life get so off plan (yeah)
Reflecting on life deviating from planned expectations
When I look in a mirror, I see a boy, rather than a man
Noticing a personal struggle with the transition from boyhood to manhood
No one told us life would be this hard
Reiterating the theme of unexpected hardships in life
Didn't think I get quite this far
Surprised at personal growth and progression
Just two kids, playing in the yard (oh)
Recalling the image of two kids playing in the yard
No one told us life would be this hard (oh)
Reiterating the challenges faced without prior warning
No one told us life would be this hard (yeah)
Affirming the difficulty of life's journey
But look at us ya we've made it far yeah
Reflecting on the shared accomplishment of making it far in life
Ohhh oh oh
Expressing emotions through vocalizations
Ohhh oh oh
-Ohhh oh yea yeahh
-No one told us life would be this hard
Reiterating the unexpected hardships encountered
Didn't think I get quite this far
Reflecting on personal growth and unexpected achievements
Just two kids, playing in the yard
Recalling the simple joys of childhood play
No one told us life would be this hard
Emphasizing the challenges of life that were not forewarned
No one told us life would be this hard
Repeating the acknowledgment of unforeseen difficulties
But look at us ya we've made it far
Celebrating the shared accomplishment of overcoming challenges
