Eric Goddard - Thicker skin Lyrics

I remember being 6 years old
At the bottom of the road
Where my best friends used to go
Buggin´ out at the nearest neighbours house
Doing things they weren´t allowed
When their parents weren´t around
And I remember when we called the chubby girl
For a really bad word
And boy, she really got hurt
Well I think of it as just kids being kids
Inch by inch
We´re learning how to live
I remember being nine years old
With a mind of my own
Only kept one friend close
And I remember when his douche bag dad
Had this new girlfriend
Who I fell in love with
See I wasn't old enough to know what it meant
But she had a polka dot bikini
And that was good enough for me
See I think of it as just a kid being a kid
Inch by inch
I´m learning how to live
So take me there
Oh oh oh, the memories are fading but I really wouldn't change a thing
No no no, I´m lucky that I made it, because it´s given me thicker skin
Oh oh oh, the memories are fading but I really wouldn't change a thing
No no no, I´m lucky that I made it, because it´s given me thicker skin
I remember being twelve years old
And all the other kids had grown
Into some kind of totem poles
And there I was ,
One of the kids with the really big dreams
But the lowest self esteem
So I had to quit the football team
See we´re all the same
Just so ashamed to be naked
But they took it out on me and I just couldn't take it
I Think of it as just kids being kids
Inch by inch
We´re learning how to live
I remember when I turned fourteen
We had this crazy house party
And they kicked us of the street
So we had to move a little further out of town
Closer to my fathers house
Where we never went around
And he tried to cook us a couple meals a week
But we needed time to heal
Back into a family
See I think of it as just kids being kids
Me and my sis
We´re learning how to live
So take me there
Oh oh oh, the memories are fading but I really wouldn't change a thing
No no no, I´m lucky that I made it, because it´s given me thicker skin
Oh oh oh, the memories are fading but I really wouldn't change a thing
No no no, I´m lucky that I made it, because it´s given me thicker skin
I remember being 6 years old, at the bottom of the road, where my best friends used to go
