The Kids Are All Grown Lyrics by Dunne Brian
Dunne Brian Lyrics
[Verse 1]
And it came over me
Did it come over you?
The feeling we were late like we made a mistake
Or there was something we forgot to do
Is it just me?
Have I been so cavalier?
Did I f**k up my life? Did I ruin the night?
Can I turn it around from here?
[Chorus]
And in line with the horizon, I catch your eyes and
I can tell your heart's been spent
Though my back's to the wall
I'm not ready to go home yet
And, yeah, you can tell the bar they can keep my card
And ring out the whole night's check
'Cause I know they wanna close
I'm not ready to go home yet
[Verse 2]
You were seventeen
Lit out from your parents' house
To the jungle of the street where the strangers meet
Where they look you in the mouth
And the words, they came
And the words, they went
Like they flew off of your tongue
Now you can't put your finger on it
[Chorus]
And in line with the horizon, I catch your eyes and
I can tell your heart's been spent
Though my back's to the wall
I'm not ready to go home yet
I was proud to live through it, I tried hard to prove it
And I wouldn't wanna do it again
Guess the kids are all grown
But I'm not ready to go home yet
Well, I'm not ready to go home yet
[Verse 3]
And it came over me
As a force of God
As if the bile in my mouth was forcing me to drown
In all that I am not
And would never be
Short of something quite profound
Guess the kids are all grown, everybody's gone home
And we're the only ones left here now
[Chorus]
And in line with the horizon, it took me by surprise when
I saw it just as clear as it gets
But how unceremonious, I guess we should've known this
Would someday lead to regret
So I clung for dear life to a dull spark of light
So sad, sick, and desperate
Screaming, "Leave me alone"
I'm not ready to go home yet
Well, I'm not ready to go home yet
Now the kids are all grown
But I'm not ready to go home yet
Well, I'm not ready to go home yet
