| There’s a playground that we used to run on
|
| The penny-drop that broke her arm
|
| The monkey bars that you fell from
|
| The swingset chain that stuck with my tongue
|
| It’s thirty below and we’re far gone
|
| If you plant yourself here I wouldn’t miss you for long
|
| But then comes the day when you leave town
|
| I’m back to the way I was when you weren’t around
|
| If you want to know what that was like
|
| I’ll tell you first, it was way too quiet
|
| It rained a hundred nineteen days of the year
|
| I spent my time falling down the stairs
|
| I know I can’t tie you to a leash
|
| But something tells me you’d go further than Greece
|
| And then I’ll have to figure out what to do
|
| I’m kind of afraid I’m co-dependent on you
|
| I’m freaking out that we’ve started breaking down
|
| Before momentum picked up
|
| Now all these doors are locked
|
| The trees trick you 'cause they’re always standing still
|
| If time was really racing by
|
| You could see it when you drive
|
| There’s a rooftop deck where we still hang out
|
| A couple of bars where we’re not allowed
|
| The roller-skates that threw you on your face
|
| The park on the hill which was our only space
|
| The fog is fast and it rolls right in
|
| About the time I struck my first fifth of gin
|
| I really don’t mean to complain too much
|
| But this is turning me into quite the lush
|
| I’m freaking out that we’re running out of time
|
| But to do what?
|
| Should I stop and think of that?
|
| Is there something I could do to slow it down?
|
| Live in a day for once
|
| Instead of watch it screaming by
|
| You’re a dandelion seed
|
| That flies through the air
|
| And lands randomly
|
| Then disappears
|
