That's What Kids Do

BethyBoo • 500 followers

I'm running down the corridors
Acting like a child
I'm sick of being grown up
I want to go wild

Want to race?
Ready, set, GO!
You know I'll beat you
I'll beat you, you know

Running down the corridors
"Stop running" they shout
But we're too busy laughing
We can imagine them pout

We're running around
And it's a beautiful day
"Outside now"
They tend to say

But we're too busy laughing
And enjoying this day
Water fight inside?
So inside we'll stay

Running down the corridors
Laughing as we do
Slipping now and again
Remembering we're only kids too

Running down the corridors
I slip again because of you
Then I'm laughing my arse off
'Cos that's what kids do

What If Fairy Tales Existed?

I used to sit at my bedroom window and think about my future. I always pictured me being somewhere far away from here. A perfect place. Far too big to imagine and life there was amazing.

Kids

It's funny how kids think. I remember when I was six or seven, I was at the arcade when I got to thinking about what would happen if you took the tokens out of the game machines.
