Kid I Used to Know Songtext
von Tori Kelly

Lost in this desert, feels like a thousand years
Looking for water, swear there was an ocean here (mmm)
How do I get back where I came from
When everything has all changed so much

Feeling the pressure now
It′s tying my heart down
Missing the empty skies of my youth
Never a cloud on the ever bright blue
Just want that peace again
But the chaos is closing in

I know that I can't ever go back to the world when life was only
Playing, dreaming, dancing on my own
I keep trying to find that fearless heart that′s running wild with
Nothing weighing heavy on my soul
Looking for the kid I used to know


All of these voices, it's hard to tune them out (yeah, yeah, yeah)
I should accept it, it ain't so simple now (no, no, yeah)
I wanna say whatever I want
And not even think about falling in love
Chasing the rainbows
And where did the time go?

Yeah, I know that I can′t ever go back
To the world when life was only
Playing, dreaming, dancing on my own
I keep trying to find that fearless heart that′s running wild with
Nothing weighing heavy on my soul
Looking for the kid I used to know, yeah

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Yeah, yeah
The kid I used to know
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Yeah

Ooh, ooh, ooh
Oh, back when I learned to fly
And went outside the lines
Oh-oh


No, I can't ever go back to the world when life was only
Playing, dreaming, dancing on my own
I keep trying to find that fearless heart that′s running wild
With nothing weighing heavy on my soul
Looking for the kid I used to know

I used to know
The kid I used to know
