When We Were Kids Lyrics

When we were kids
When we were kids
We could live forever and die together

When we were young
When we we were young
We could live forever and die together

One great, one great thing about growing old is
The light in your bliss
Now you're young, now you're young and you're beautiful
You can fly

What did you do to break out?
What did you do as a child?
We're going way down low

When we were kids, when we were kids
We could live forever, die together
When we were young, when we were young
We could live forever, die together

Hello, hello innocence, where did you go?
The child that I know is still here
He is still here now, set him free
Let him fly

What did you do to break out?
What did you do as a child?
We're going way down low

When we were kids, when we were kids
We could live forever, die together
When we were young, when we were young
We could live forever, die together

I'll be fine, I'll be fine down the line
'Cause we're bonded by blood
I've been worse, I've been worse than a curse
But it's all over now
And in the end, in the end you're my friend
We are blood, we are one

When we were kids, when we were kids
We could live forever, die together
When we were young, when we were young
We could live forever, die together

When we were kids, when we were kids
We could live forever, die together

Cover art for When We Were Kids lyrics by Volbeat

This song is a nostalgic anthem that explores the passage of time and the loss of innocence as we grow older. It's a look back at the carefree days of our youth, when we typically thought we were capable of anything and that our friendships were so strong they would endure even in death. The title explains this well enough, because when we're older, we often find ourselves reflecting on our old days, "when we were kids."
