"Kid Things" lyrics

What's there that makes you want to be lonely?
What's there to keep you sitting at home?
He'd always say no, no, no
As if he wanted you to be hungry
Well, the same things you're missing
Could get you into something else

Better leave when to stay is only
Nothing but being alone
What I wanted you to know is

Kid things seem like nothing at all
Kid things make it better than it was
Kid things seem like nothing at all
But kid things make it better than it was

Hey, what you got that makes you want to be lonely?
Hey, what you got that makes it a better way to be?
She said, "No, no, no
I can't get any loving
It's a Sunday"
I said, "Oh yeah
What makes you think I wanted it that way?"

'Cause one or two more smiles from you
And I don't need anything else
What I wanted you to know is

Kid things seem like nothing at all
Kid things make it better than it was
We're just kids
We spend all night on the phone
It's a kid thing but I sleep better when I'm not alone

And what I want right now
Is just some more
Give me more

Hey, what you think is you're not getting any younger
What I know is that you're not really very old
I know you want to say no, no, no
And it feels much better in the summer
Well, if it isn't warm where you're sitting
Then kitten, come on in out of the cold

'Cause all I know is when I'm with you
Well, I don't need anything else
What I wanted you to know is

Kid things seem like nothing at all
And kid things make it better than it was
We're just kids
We spend all night on the phone
It's a kid thing so I sleep better when I'm not alone

Kid things seem like nothing at all
Kid things make it better than it was
We're just kids
It's just like driving a car
It's a kid thing and the further out
The closer in you are
