Hey Kid

Hey kid, you've done some dumb stuff in life
And I bet you'll go on to do some more
Dove head first in the dirty water pool by the harbor
That could've been the last thing you did

And all those times when you hurt the feelings of those
You should've been standing up for and treating with respect

Boy, you've been cutting the lines and you've bending the rules
It's a wonder how little you've burned

Hey kid
It wasn't all bad
Some of the moments were grand

You only have one single life to spare
Why don't you treat it with all of your love and care
Don't go wasting all your precious days that are here
You don't know how much you still have left

Sometimes the hardest thing's what you don't want to hear
The ghosts of days gone they lurk always somewhere near
You take the steps that you take
And every day you can learn some more
I guess you call it a life

Hey kid, I bet you wish you could make
Some of the stupid things you did come undone
But what is said and done is gone, you need to live with it
At least you know how sorry you are

And yeah, I know you didn't really get what you did
You were just speeding so fast you couldn't see what you wrecked

If I could turn back the time, if I could come say hi
There's a lot of stuff that we should undo

Hey kid
It wasn't all bad
Some of the moments were grand

You only have one single life to spare
Why don't you treat it with all of your love and care
Don't go wasting all your precious days that are here
You don't know how much you still have left

Sometimes the hardest thing's what you don't want to hear
The ghosts of days gone they lurk always somewhere near
You take the steps that you take
And every day you can learn some more
I guess you call it a life

Hey kid
It wasn't all bad
Some of the moments were grand

You only have one single life to spare
Why don't you treat it with all of your love and care
Don't go wasting all your precious days that are here
You don't know how much you still have left

Sometimes the hardest thing's what you don't want to hear
The ghosts of days gone they lurk always somewhere near
You take the steps that you take
And every day you can learn some more

You only have one single life to spare
Why don't you treat it with all of your love and care
Don't go wasting all your precious days that are here
You don't know how much you still have left

Sometimes the hardest thing's what you don't want to hear
The ghosts of days gone they lurk always somewhere near
You take the steps that you take
And every day you can learn some more
I guess you call it a life
