There's a playground that we used to run on
The pennydrop 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 wouldnt miss it for nothin
But then comes a day when you leave town,
I'm back to the way i was when you weren't around.
If you wanna 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 codependent on you.
I'm freaking out that we started breaking down,
Before momentum picked up, now all these doors are locked.
The trees trick you because they're always standin still,
If time is really racing by, you can 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 rollerskates that threw you on your face,
The park on the hill which is our only space.
The fog is fast and it rolls right in,
About at the time i struck my first fifth of gin.
I don't really 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
x2
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
The pennydrop 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 wouldnt miss it for nothin
But then comes a day when you leave town,
I'm back to the way i was when you weren't around.
