where did the kid go? ft. Northwest Stories & Harrison Goodell Lyrics

Where did the kid go?

Never in trouble, no curfew

They knew he'd be home

I hear the echoes

Where was the memo?

Oh, I wish he had shown up for this

For those eyes to see

This sunrise

Oh, I hope he didn't travel too far

Oh, I hope that kid's still somewhere in my heart

Where did the kid go?

The one down by the meadow

In his quiet place

Out by the pond

I miss the mud stains

Chasing the sun rays

I miss my world being small

Turns out I miss that kid after all

Where did the kid go?

Oh, it used to be simple

I'd just go outside

Play wiffle ball in the yard

Used to look out my window

Just to see how the wind blows

All the grass

Into images of critters and cars

Oh, I'd bring out

The old blue recycling bin

So I could jump off

And dunk until it got dark

Now I see it in my kid's eyes

And it brings back the spark

Why'd you go without me?

Don't you know I'm still here?

You're just a ghost of my memories

And you've been haunting me for years

Where did the kid go?

Was he left somewhere back out on the road?

Walking home and kicking rocks

I'd hang to those monkey bars

But I've gotta save for my first car

If I could go back now

God, I'd sprint

He'll always be in memory

He reminds me to always stand tall

Turns out I miss that kid after all

Why'd you go without me?

Don't you know that I'm still here?

You're just a ghost of my memories

And you've been haunting me for years

And you've been haunting me for years

And you've been haunting me for years
