The meaning of the lyrics of the song "When We Were Kids" by the artist "Walking On Cars"

The song "When We Were Kids" by Walking On Cars conveys a feeling of nostalgia and longing for the carefree days of childhood and a person who was important during that time.

The lyrical hero is stuck in the routine of adult life, which seems to him like a "rat race" - monotonous and exhausting. He feels lost and unsure of his actions. All he wants is to go back to a time when he felt free and happy.

The address "you" in the song is ambiguous: it could be a childhood friend, a lover, or simply a symbol of carefree youth. The hero clings to these memories, seeking solace and guidance in the present.

The recurring phrase "I'm still calling you" conveys a desperate plea for help, a desire to return to the past or find the same clarity and lightheartedness that he had as a child. He asks this person to tell him what to do, because now, without them, he feels lost.

[Verse 1:]

Yeah it was better back when we were kids

Thought we knew everything, we really did

Had no money but so rich

Nobody cared about what we did

Another fight and another kiss

But now it's water under the bridge

[Pre-Chorus:]

But I still call out for you

Yeah I still call out for you

[Chorus:]

Just tell me what I'm gonna do now

'Cause I feel a little lost without you

I'm a little bit lost without you

Hear me, hear me out

Tell me what I'm gonna do now

Because I realise now I need you

I'd do anything now to see you

Hear me, hear me

I still call out for you

Yeah I still call out for you

[Verse 2:]

Another consequence, another day

And now I'm caught up in a rat race

No money, just got picked

It takes me back to when I was free

It takes me back to a memory

To all the water under the bridge

[Chorus:]

Just tell me what I'm gonna do now

'Cause I feel a little lost without you

I'm a little bit lost without you

Hear me, hear me out

Tell me what I'm gonna do now

Because I realise now I need you

I'd do anything now to see you

Hear me, hear me

[Post-Chorus:]

I still call out for you

Oh I still call out for you

Hear me, hear me

I still call out for you

'Cause I feel a little lost without you

I'm a little bit lost without you

Hear me, hear me

[Bridge:]

It was better when we were kids

No money, so rich

Take me back to a memory

To the water under the bridge

[Chorus:]

Just tell me what I'm gonna do now

'Cause I feel a little lost without you

I'm a little bit lost without you

Hear me, hear me out

Tell me what I'm gonna do now

Because I realise now I need you

I'd do anything now to see you

Hear me, hear me

[Post-Chorus:]

I still call out for you

Oh I still call out for you

Hear me, hear me

I still call out for you

'Cause I feel a little lost without you

I'm a little bit lost without you

Hear me, hear me
