There you are crying grown up tears
But they`re coming from your childhood fears
I know you`re only a kid at heart
In this world of compromise
Come over here and dry your eyes
Sometimes everything falls apart, I know
When you`re only a kid at heart
From a childhood memory (my heart)
To a place we`ll never see
Look what we`ve done
Once you were safe and warm
Now life`s an endless storm
Always waking you in the dark
Now you`re built of faith and fear
Trying to make it through the year
It`s hard to figure out a place to start, I know
When you`re only a kid at heart
From a childhood memory (you know my heart)
To a place we`ll never see
Look what you`ve done
In the time it takes
Through each mistake
See what you`ve become
I know you`re only a kid at heart
(I know you`re only a kid at heart)
I know you`re only a kid at heart
Started out as a bedtime story
Turned into a fight for glory
Sometimes it`s hard to make your mark
When you`re only a kid at heart
Hard to tell
Where the stories end
And nighttime dreams begin
When you`re only a kid at heart
(I know you`re only a kid at heart)
I know you`re only a kid at heart
