Remember those nights?
In the summer? So fine.
How we ran around
and forgot about time?
Remember those games we made,
thinking us clever?
Oh, how we believed
that it'd last forever.
Climbing trees.
Scraping our knees.
Childhood laughter--
caught in the breeze.
Growing up was
so far away.
Monsters in closets
is what we believed.
And the friends that we had
would always be near;
There was nowhere else
except for right here.
But time came, at last,
when we started to change;
We cut our hair
and hated our names.
We started to think
about "wrong" and "right."
Breaking petty laws
in the cover of night.
Friends all changed,
along with the things that we did.
But I'll never forget
being a kid.
Back when troubles
didn't exist.
Back when it was
gross to be kissed.
And I'll always cherish
what we use to do.
Back in the day
when I was still friends with you.
