Just A Kid - Manic Street Preachers

Afraid of the sun

So afraid of the sky

Touch it and taste it

But don't reach too high

Bewildered by them

Then so uncomplicated

All these feelings

Not fully created

Just a kid amongst the Autumn leaves

A kid kicking around with no worries

Just a kid searching through the debris

Just a kid acting like I used to be

Just a kid acting like I used to be

Afraid of the sun

So afraid of the sky

Touch it and taste it

But don't reach too high

Hurting and yearning

And yet so carefree

Waking and dreaming

The world at my feet

Just a kid amongst the Autumn leaves

A kid kicking around with no worries

Just a kid searching through the debris

Just a kid acting like I used to be

Just a kid acting like I used to be

Just a kid amongst the Autumn leaves

A kid kicking around with no worries

Just a kid searching through the debris

Just a kid acting like I used to be

Just a kid acting like I used to be

Just a kid just a man and a boy

Just a moment that time will destroy
