Kid Fears
Indigo Girls · Playlist [2009]
Pain from pearls
Hey little girl
How much have you grown
Pain from pearls
Hey little girl
Flowers for the ones you've known
Are you on fire
From the years
And what would you give
For your kid fears
Secret staircase
Running high
You had a hiding place
Secret staircase
Running low
They all know now you're inside
Are you on fire
From the years
And what would give
For your kid fears
Your kid fears
Skippin stones
We know the price now
Any sin will do
How much further
If you can spin
How much further if you lost nerve
Are you on fire
From the years
What would give
For your kid fears
What would
Replace the rent with the stars above
Replace the need with love
Replace the anger with the tides
Replace the ones, the ones, the ones, the ones that you love
Are you on fire (Replace the rent with the stars above)
From the years (Replace the need with love)
What would you give (Replace the anger with the tides)
For your kid fears (Replace the ones, the ones, the ones, the ones that you love)
Are you on fire (Replace the rent with the stars above)
From the years (Replace the need with love)
What would you give (Replace the anger with the tides)
For your kid fears (Replace the ones, the ones, the ones, the ones that you love)

Kid Fears
On the Indigo Girls' 2009 album Playlist, 'Kid Fears' stands as a poignant reflection on the anxieties of growing up. Co-written and performed by Amy and Emily Remler, the track captures the universal dread of adolescence with their signature acoustic folk-pop sound. The song's gentle melody contrasts with its honest lyrics about the fear of making mistakes and the pressure of adulthood. Released during a period where the duo continued to explore themes of personal growth and social observation, 'Kid Fears' remains a staple of their discography, embodying the band's ability to translate childhood insecurities into relatable, timeless music for listeners of all ages.
