Kids in Love

Beside the fact im totally obsessing over mayday parades new album (l) It occurred to me that this song describes a relationship I had in a nutshell. It seems like every line in this song was written from an identical experience. The old memories came pouring in but im coming to realize you don’t need to block all those memories out, its alright to remember the past even if the dreams you had once didn’t go as planned, but that’s life, its totally unpredictable and constantly changing.


Kids in Love
I look back to the one and only summertime.
And my girl was the envy of every friend of mine.
She slept safely in my arms.
We were so young and invincible.

Closed lips, she was never one to kiss and tell.
Those trips in the summer never went so well.
Young love was such dumb love call it what you want it was still enough.

And it's still out of my reach.
And it's still all of the things that I want in my life.
How could I ask you to leave me.

And we were just kids in love.
The summer was full of mistakes.
We wouldn't learn from.
The first kiss stole the breath from my lips.
Why did the last one tear us apart?

Our breath smelled of cigarettes and alcohol.
We'd walk down the beach counting every star.
Our hearts beat inside our chests.
Leaving us gasping for every breath.

Her smile with the wind blowing through her hair.
Was so contagious in the air.
So satisfying and I'm still smiling.


We're falling down (Can we pick up the pieces?)
We're at a all time low (How will we get it back?)
We're falling down (Can we pick up the pieces?)
I'm falling down (Can we pick up the pieces now?)
