Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Mud on your shoes
Cracks in the seat
You got a whole world
Under your knees
Sticky little hands
Snack in the back
Laughing at nothing
Then you react
[Pre-Chorus]
You don’t need a crown
You don’t need a plan
You turn a gray room
Into a wonderland
[Chorus]
Kids, kids, kids
Run the whole block
Kids, kids, kids
Never want to stop
(never want to stop)
Kids, kids, kids
Turn hearts on
Kids, kids, kids
Keep the whole world young
[Verse 2]
Sidewalk chalk suns
Bent up and bright
Skinned-knee science
Out past the light
You ask the hard things
Soft as a song
Why do the good days
Never stay long?
[Pre-Chorus]
You don’t need a crown
You don’t need a plan
You turn a gray room
Into a wonderland
[Chorus]
Kids, kids, kids
Run the whole block
Kids, kids, kids
Never want to stop
(never want to stop)
Kids, kids, kids
Turn hearts on
Kids, kids, kids
Keep the whole world young
[Bridge]
Hold on to the small things
Mud and a grin
Some days the whole truth
Fits in your skin
[Chorus]
Kids, kids, kids
Run the whole block
Kids, kids, kids
Never want to stop
(never want to stop)
Kids, kids, kids
Turn hearts on
Kids, kids, kids
Keep the whole world young
Mud on your shoes
Cracks in the seat
You got a whole world
Under your knees
Sticky little hands
Snack in the back
Laughing at nothing
Then you react
[Pre-Chorus]
You don’t need a crown
You don’t need a plan
You turn a gray room
Into a wonderland
[Chorus]
Kids, kids, kids
Run the whole block
Kids, kids, kids
Never want to stop
(never want to stop)
Kids, kids, kids
Turn hearts on
Kids, kids, kids
Keep the whole world young
[Verse 2]
Sidewalk chalk suns
Bent up and bright
Skinned-knee science
Out past the light
You ask the hard things
Soft as a song
Why do the good days
Never stay long?
[Pre-Chorus]
You don’t need a crown
You don’t need a plan
You turn a gray room
Into a wonderland
[Chorus]
Kids, kids, kids
Run the whole block
Kids, kids, kids
Never want to stop
(never want to stop)
Kids, kids, kids
Turn hearts on
Kids, kids, kids
Keep the whole world young
[Bridge]
Hold on to the small things
Mud and a grin
Some days the whole truth
Fits in your skin
[Chorus]
Kids, kids, kids
Run the whole block
Kids, kids, kids
Never want to stop
(never want to stop)
Kids, kids, kids
Turn hearts on
Kids, kids, kids
Keep the whole world young
Style of Music
Indie-pop with a mid-tempo bounce, handclap groove, and warm bass line; verse rides sparse guitar and finger snaps, pre-chorus opens with rising harmony stacks, chorus hits with wide drums, gang vocal doubles, and a short chantable anchor. Vocal is close-mic and youthful, with playful ad-libs, delay throws on key words, and a filtered bridge. Ear candy includes toy-piano accents, reverse swells into the chorus, and a tape-stop transition. Bright, glossy, and intimate
