lyrics

WIDE EYED KID

well, she turns up the music
til them bass strings throb
she kisses you and says,
I'm just doing my job
she glances and she teases
she falls to your bed like rain
then she closes her eyes
so there's no need to explain

(chorus)
we started lying and deceiving
just like all the grownups did
when it gets so hard believing
I always wanta be a wide eyed kid


he's studying a photograph
that washed in from the sea
and on the back a scribbled name
a splash of history
he's running fevers drinking from
a jug that should be dry
you're the one who's in his room tonight
but you can't catch his eye

(chorus)


now you're painting on new makeup
and you're trying on new clothes
I'd rather see you naked
but that's just the way it goes
remember how we used to be
those little boys and girls
how'd we get so turned around
and helpless in this world

(chorus)
