Stay a Kid
Nostalgic Reflections: Embracing Simpler Days in 'Stay a Kid'
Lyrics
In the basement, sitting in a circle
In a basement, sitting in a circle
Yeah we're getting high, smoking purple
Engaging in drug use, smoking a type of marijuana known as purple
Girl spin the bottle
A game of spin the bottle involving a girl
Just like there's no tomorrow
Playing without concern for the future, as if there's no tomorrow
Yeah I remember way back then
Reflecting on a past time
When I had my first kiss
Recalling the experience of a first kiss
Life was so simple, God damn I miss it
Nostalgically missing the simplicity of life back then
If I'd known, It'd be this hard, I would just stay a kid
Expressing regret that, if aware of the difficulties, the speaker would have preferred to remain a child
Oh, you know
Reiterating the idea that life is challenging
When it gets hard you just gotta keep pushing
Encouragement to persist through difficulties
Oh, you know
Repeating the message of resilience in the face of challenges
When it gets hard you just gotta keep pushing
Emphasizing the need to persevere during tough times
Oh, you now
Reinforcing the idea of staying determined when feeling lost
When you get lost you just gotta keep looking
Advising to keep searching when facing challenges
Where has the time gone?
Questioning the passage of time
I've been searching, searching for it
Expressing a continued search for something meaningful
Where has my life gone?
Reflecting on the uncertainty and lack of direction in life
I'm still searching for my purpose
Expressing a persistent quest for personal purpose
Where do I wanna go?
Raising the question of where the speaker wants to go in life
Oh, If I'd known
Repeating the regret that, if aware, the speaker would have chosen to stay a child
It'd be this hard, I would just stay a kid
Reiterating the sentiment that growing up is unexpectedly difficult
Oh, you know
Encouragement to persist through challenges, acknowledging their inevitability
When it gets hard you just gotta keep pushing
Repeating the message of resilience in difficult times
Oh, you know
Emphasizing the need to keep pushing forward when facing adversity
When you get lost you just gotta keep looking
Reinforcing the idea of staying determined when feeling lost
Sometimes my life feels like it's been flipped upside down
Expressing the feeling of life being tumultuous or chaotic
The only thing that numbs the pain is to make these sounds, no
Indicating that creating music serves as a coping mechanism to numb emotional pain
If I'd known, It'd be this hard, I would just stay a kid
Reiterating the regret that, if aware, the speaker would have preferred to remain a child
