Wanna Be a Kid
Embrace the Morning: Rediscovering Youth in Lanitarians' 'Wanna Be a Kid'
Lyrics
Wake Wake Wake up to the morning
Waking up in the morning
Realization that you're fine
Realizing that everything is fine
Ain't it something in your hard nights
Finding something significant in challenging times
Turns out to be when you're not high
Discovering that true clarity comes when not under the influence
In time you'll get by
Over time, overcoming difficulties and moving forward
And stop to realize what you did
Reflecting on past actions
But in the back of your mind
Despite progress, a lingering desire to return to childhood
You still just wanna be a kid
Expressing a persistent wish to remain a child
La La La La oh Id love you
Singing a melodic expression of love
To take take take away my pain
Desiring someone to alleviate emotional pain
Its been months since I've seen you
Not seeing the person for months
Feed me my spoon of Novocain
Metaphorically asking for a numbing agent (Novocain) to ease the pain
In time you'll get high
Anticipating a future state of euphoria
And stop to realize what you did
Reflecting on past actions during a high
In the back of your mind
Despite progress, the persistent desire to be a child remains
You still just wanna be a kid
Expressing an enduring wish to stay youthful
How could I ever turn down gettin high with you
Questioning the possibility of rejecting the experience of getting high together
How could I ever turn down a good night with you
Reflecting on the difficulty of turning down enjoyable nights together
How could I ever turn you down
Expressing uncertainty about rejecting the person
How could I ever turn you down
Repeating the uncertainty about rejecting the person
In time you'll get high
Anticipating a future state of euphoria once again
And stop to realize what you did
Reflecting on past actions during a high, again
In the back of your mind
Despite progress, the persistent desire to be a child lingers
You still just wanna be a kid
Expressing an enduring wish to stay youthful, again
