Not the Kid - Communist Daughter

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
