| James McMurtry – Childish Things Lyrics | 17 years ago |

In regards to the second verse, "looked out the window till I saw too much", I take this as him just observing things in general for long enough and he finally starts viewing life in a different way. And not necessarily in a better way than the innocent, curious way that he did as a child. He started figuring everything out for himself and realized things weren't as joyous as they once seemed. As for calling parents by their own first names, maybe its just me but I have noticed a few people that I have known a while eventually wind up calling their parents by their first names...just something that happens with age. And in the alley, when you were a kid, did you ever have a game or certain thing you did for fun that you never thought would grow old or it never even occured to you that it would grow old? I guess the game didn't really get old; he did. |
