Swagin' down dark hills

Their were plenty of times i tripped over my own feet

Falling behind the more fluent riders

Waving my hands, pointing to the sky

My knees bent, the longboard beneath

my feet is trembling, wind smashing against my face

Swerving lane to lane in a figure eight

On a long asphalt hill

We called it swagin'

 

 

We cruise through school buildings walk ways

Campus lights over our heads

Brightening the smooth brick paths

We traveled across

Sliding around cars, curving on to the sidewalks

 

We met at the top of the steepest street

Formed a circle, and revealed our deepest thoughts

In a bond we agree to keep the words we said to ourselves

No holding back we pushed off the ground with our feet

no fear in our hearts

Our yells and laughs echoed through the midnight trees

we lit the empty street with our smiles

climbing the peak of a roller coaster

Time stood still as gravity took its toil

 

At the end of the hill, The boards calmed down

and the wheels rolled to a halt

My heart jumping out of my chest

Skin soaked of warm air

Tears in my eyes

I was victorious
