Kids These Days Lyrics

all my days left seem so bright
but I can't seem to make it through tonight
and i can't rely on yesterday to get me through right now
my prayers and dreams are coming true
still left with a mess
oh what to do
and i can't rely on yesterday to get me through right now
won't wake up cause i hate the smell of coffee
just face it i don't want to be like most kids these days
day by day i'm getting stronger
but it seems so long still getting longer
and i can't rely on yesterday to get me through right now
a little afraid
a little tired
can't speak now my tongues on fire
and i can't rely on yesterday to get me through right now
just make it go away
just want it to be ok

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

For some reason this song makes me think of growing pains. Cuz it's like "Day by day i'm getting stronger, but it seems so long still getting longer" and that kinda how growing pains are. You're growing up but sometimes various muscles will feel sore and stuff.

I'm not trying to say the song IS about growing pains, it just reminds me of it.
