A Kid That Used to Look Like Me - Minor Majority

How come my life is of vital importance

For people that I never see?

Seems like years can go by and all they remember

Is what I did not grow up to be

Just like I have been sick with incurable cancer

And everyone else can come up with the answer

That the doctor just failed to see

While they’ve gotten older, I’ve been kept in their folders

As a kid that used to look like me

She’s just a girl with a face fronting postcards

And a heart that’s never at ease

She might look twenty one, but she won’t do for long

So she acts as if she’s seventeen

And there is one topic you just won’t let go of

My girlfriends location, her plans for tomorrow

How come she’s not here with you?

The Atlantic Sea may be a killer of dreams

If what you want is a swimming pool

Now, what is a promise if she’s not there to keep it?

What if you crash, you’re not wearing a seat belt

You’d surely get hurt if she ran

And that’s the price you pay for staying the same

You distrust what you don’t understand
