[Verse]
I've gone miles and miles
Under the sun
But where are we going?
I've gone miles and miles
Sometimes I think
Without really knowing
But I'm always in my head I guess
And that's always on my mind
[Chorus]
I wish that we were kids
Getting high for the first time
But we are just waving goodbye
For a lifetime
I wish that we were kids
Getting high for the first time
We'll catch them somewhere
Down the linе
[Verse]
And we all fly back almost every Novеmber
And we show our medals but hide all the scars
Keep appearances
And it's the same thing every year I guess
And that's always on my mind
[Chorus]
I wish that we were kids
Getting high for the first time
But we are just waving goodbye
For a lifetime
I wish that we were kids
Getting high for the first time
We'll catch them somewhere
[Bridge]
Some kind of static
Some kind of empty
That can't be held on to
I wanted to feel it
So I don't have to fake it
Make plans to erase it
Or at least replace it
[Chorus]
I wish that we were kids
Getting high for the first time
But we are just waving goodbye
For a lifetime
I wish that we were kids
Getting high for the first time
We'll catch them somewhere down the line
