Lyrics Not the Kid - Communist Daughter

Not the Kid

When we were younger
We had nothing to do
So we’d close our eyes
And spin around in circles
Happy to hit the ground
Or happy to just fall down
When we were younger
We’d go down to the park
To catch all the fireflies
And put them in jars
We never knew that they’d die
We never really thought that far
I’m not the kid you knew
Im not the kid you remember
When we were younger
We were scared of the dark
So we closed our eyes
And pulled the sheets over our heads
We didn’t want to see what’s there
Like the shadows under the bed
And now that I’m older
I look back on those days
I wish I had them back
'Cause the shadows are gone
Or at least they’re not that strong
As the shadows in my head
I’m not the kid you knew
I’m not the kid you remember
I’m not the kid you knew
I’m not the kid you remember
In 1985
There was a picture taken with my name on it
Climbing an apple tree
With blue shoes
You think it was me
I could swear it was you
I’m not the kid you knew
I’m not the kid you remember
I’m not the kid you knew
I’m not the kid you remember
I’m not the kid you knew
I’m not the kid you remember
I’m not the kid you knew
I’m not the kid you remember
