Jamie Grace - 90's Kids Lyrics
Lyrics
We're just some 90's kids
90's
We're just some 90's kids
Introduce myself, introduce yourself
I wanna get to know you better and introduce ourselves
I'm a seven, so I like all the attention
And I'ma figure you out just like I'm Benson
It's not a Game-Boy, no Tamagotchi toy
You better walk man, don't just talk boy
You got my heart, my diary on lock, good reason -
Wanna take a look in a locked book? Need permission
Do not leave me guessing
Tell the truth, no double daring
We're just some 90's kids
Fell in love, we did
And it's kinda crazy that it moved so swift
We're just some 90's kids
Fell in love, we did
And I don't doubt our fire will stay lit
You hang up, then I'll hang up
But if we stay on the phone then we don't hang up
We got that old school love with a new school phone bill
Unlimited, nah I don't believe it too good to be real
St. Louis to Los Angeles
I'm not singing the blues when you not dodging us
You say what you mean and mean what you say
And if you mean it's me ya wanna meet then hop on the plane
You never leave me guessing
You tell the truth, no double daring
We're just some 90's kids
Fell in love, we did
And it's kinda crazy that it moved so swift
We're just some 90's kids
Fell in love, we did
And I don't doubt our fire will stay lit
People might say we moved too quick
But I talked to Jesus and he's cool with it
People might say we moved too quick
But I talked to Jesus and he's cool with it
We're just some 90's kids
90's
We're just some 90's kids
We're just some 90's kids
Fell in love, we did
And it's kinda crazy that it moved so swift
We're just some 90's kids
Fell in love, we did
And I don't doubt our fire will stay lit
We're just some 90's kids
Fell in love, we did
And it's kinda crazy that it moved so swift
We're just some 90's kids
Fell in love, we did
And I don't doubt our fire will stay lit
We're just some 90's kids
90's
We're just some 90's kids

90’s Kids - Jamie Grace (Official Lyric Video)
Meaning & Inspiration
Released on 2020-07-03, Jamie Grace's single "90's Kids" from the album of the same name, offers a bright, honest, and ultimately Christ-centered exploration of burgeoning love. The song tells the story of a relationship that develops with striking speed and deep conviction, viewed through the lens of a generation that valued genuine connection, even as technology began to reshape interaction. At its heart, "90's Kids" is an anthem for authentic connection, clear communication, and finding divine affirmation in the journey of love, setting it apart from typical romantic narratives.
From the opening verses, Jamie Grace establishes a longing for true understanding and respect in a relationship. The lines about introducing oneself and desiring to "figure you out" speak to a foundational openness, while the playful declaration of being "a seven" who likes attention adds a touch of relatable personality. The call for action over mere words, represented by the phrase "You better walk man, don't just talk boy," resonates deeply with biblical principles emphasizing integrity and deeds. Scripture reminds us in James 2:14-17 that faith without works is dead, and this principle extends to the authenticity required in human relationships; genuine affection is demonstrated through consistent, loving action, not just spoken promises. Furthermore, the sentiment of having one's heart, or "diary on lock," yet granting permission to look, beautifully illustrates the careful, trusting progression of intimacy. This reflects the wisdom of Proverbs 4:23, which exhorts us to "Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life," highlighting the importance of discernment and careful stewardship of one's affections. The initial verses culminate in a plea to "Do not leave me guessing, Tell the truth, no double daring," expressing a profound need for transparency and honesty from the outset, echoing Ephesians 4:25 to "speak truthfully to your neighbor."
The central chorus, "We're just some 90's kids, Fell in love, we did, And it's kinda crazy that it moved so swift, And I don't doubt our fire will stay lit," captures the exhilarating and sometimes disorienting speed of a relationship that feels right. Despite the rapid pace, there is an unwavering confidence in the lasting nature of their bond. This enduring commitment, the assurance that their "fire will stay lit," finds a powerful parallel in the characteristics of love described in 1 Corinthians 13:7-8, which declares that love "bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends." This is not a fleeting infatuation, but a love poised for steadfastness, even if it developed quickly.
The song continues to paint a picture of devoted, unceasing connection, even across distances. The playful back-and-forth about hanging up the phone, signifying a reluctance to end their conversation, highlights the deep value placed on their communication. The concept of "old school love with a new school phone bill" cleverly juxtaposes timeless relational values with modern realities, suggesting that while the tools of connection may change, the essence of dedicated love remains constant. The geographical distance, "St. Louis to Los Angeles," presents a challenge, but the crucial point is that there's no "dodging" or evasiveness. Instead, the partner "say[s] what you mean and mean what you say," upholding a vital tenet of integrity. This integrity in speech aligns perfectly with Matthew 5:37, where Jesus instructs, "All you need to say is simply 'Yes' or 'No'; anything beyond this comes from the evil one." This commitment to truth and clarity forms a strong foundation, making the invitation to "hop on the plane" a confident step toward tangible commitment.
The spiritual depth of "90's Kids" truly shines in its bridge, where Jamie Grace directly addresses external skepticism about the relationship's rapid progression: "People might say we moved too quick, But I talked to Jesus and he's cool with it." This powerful declaration shifts the entire narrative from merely a romantic tale to a testament of faith-led love. It underscores the paramount importance of seeking God's counsel and finding affirmation in His will, rather than being swayed by human opinion or societal norms. This aligns beautifully with Proverbs 3:5-6, which instructs, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight." The song becomes an inspiring reminder that a personal relationship with Jesus offers the ultimate guidance for life's most significant decisions, including matters of the heart. It’s a profound encouragement for any individual navigating relationships to ground their choices in divine approval, prioritizing God's perspective over the fleeting judgments of others, much like Psalm 118:8 reminds us, "It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in man." Jamie Grace ultimately crafts a message that resonates with anyone seeking a love that is not only authentic and communicative but also deeply rooted in and affirmed by faith.
