lyrics

walking home from the bus after school with you
kicking at rocks on Rose Petal Avenue
dropped our bags and picked up the basketball
and took to the streets with our hot talking attitudes

we stopped the truck and bought Mexican candy
and ate it on the sidewalk in the shade of the plaulm tree
and talked about girls like Chelsea and Ashley
and I don't know why I never felt so happy

how did you get so depraved
I wish there was anything I could do to save you
but I am time's slave
and I can't ever change that

get out of my room, my dad's coming home soon
if he sees you here I'll be grounded for ten years
and that won't be fun for anyone

lost weekends with free HBO
and the sun coming up over our favorite show
and them fights with the hose with the dots in your nose
and we promised ourselves we would never grow old

do you believe you are brave
I wish there was anything I could do to save you
but you are fear's slave
and I won't ever break through your cold defense
you got old, you got dense
and I stayed here where things made sense

I have been to the edge of the world
and back again searching for you
now and then I think I see a shadow
but it's just the heat of the afternoon
