Lyrics for Come On Kids as interpreted by heavyinmyheart

Come On Kids Lyrics
We were so high we thought we'd definitely died
cos we were dead already, dying
and endless nights took on my whole life
or so I thought
it turns out all your friends
they were just mean dressed up
so, come on kids eat those pills
you got your whole life to lose
we’ve got so many friends
that wear their feet too big for their shoes
we’ve got cities to visit
we’ve got trees we’ve yet to live in
and so get yourself on top of me
before I'm gone, gone, gone
and I was so young
I thought that acting old
would get me all your love
give me all you’ve got
so come on kids eat those pills
you’ve got your whole life to lose
we’ve got so many friends
that wear their feet too big for their shoes
we’ve got cities to visit
we’ve got trees we’ve yet to live in
if you get yourself on top of me
before I'm gone gone gone
and all night long
on your front lawn
I'd build you a neon village
and you said bring on new diseases
if they’re good for you
then they’ll be good for me
yeah, if it’s good for you then it’s good for me
if it’s good for you then it’s good for me
so come on kids eat those pills
you’ve got your whole life to lose
we’ve got so many friends
that wear their feet too big for their shoes
we’ve got cities to visit
we’ve got trees we’ve yet to live in
and so get yourself on top of me
before I'm gone gone gone
and we’ve got so many friends
that wear their feet too big for their shoes
we’ve got so many friends
what wear their feet too big for their shoes

"This is not about drugs. It's about flying," said Sara at the Van Folk Fest show.

"we’ve got so many friends

I dont understand how this song isn't about drugs. I mean, yea the beginning can be related to flying but what about the pills reference and the life some lose because of them?

"we’ve got cities to visit
we’ve got trees we’ve yet to live in"

I love those lines! They make me all happy and positive, thinking of all the places I can go and the adventures that await me. :]

Remember that songs aren't always meant to be taken in a literal sense. I think the 'pills' represent taking risks in your life; it doesn't mean you should go and get high, just step outside your comfort zone and experience something fun and wonderful.
Great song! I just wish they would've included the lyrics in the cd booklet.

I really just can't stop listening to this song. I take it literally, matching my life perfectly.

As in, knowing what you're doing, knowing how much you could do & how much you can lose, but still doing it anyways.
"...feet too big for their shoes," I think, acting older than you are. Having expectations of yourself that are much too big to fulfill, and you know it. But you, and all your friends, are the same way.
I take it as literal pills, literally being high, and all of that.
It's more me that way.
