lyrics
The kids can't maintain
the kids can't maintain
when you're so beautiful
the kids can't stay the same
they have to look like you
the kids can't maintain
after what you've said
they have to pause and think
get it through their pretty heads*
hormones spring
spots flourish
adolescence
biological programmed metamorphosis
change of voice
monthly blood drips
the kids can't maintain
after all that's said and done
discover the world in a different way
the first intoxication
the taste of coffee and cigarettes
encounter your boundaries
the sky's the limit
gender turn magnetic
attractive and attracted
the kisses, the hugs, the touches
pressing yourself into me and me into you
lips, hands, tongues, teeth, the south, two bodies
we cannot, we will not stay the same
state of euphoria, youthful dreams and simplicity
freeze the moments you love
'cause there is no turning back
just feel free to try life (and preserve the little kid inside)
