Children
It was more fun to be children
We just took life as it happened
Run through the days
Don't look behind
Over
Wink of an eye and it's over
What a surprise to discover
We were people ourselves
What kind of people did we want to be?
No answer ever came to me
I didn't sleep at all last night
Mom, I've come to you like yesterday
About today
Mom, I'm afraid
Hon, come and sit by my side
Listen to me
Words come so hard
But what my heart says I will give you
Because you are in love
Your eyes begin to open
As if
Brockwell Park
in the night we freeze
and you want me to tell
in london's lonesome park
brockwell
but out here
i am distracted
as fire bombs explode
bonfire lamps glow to the crowded road
if the days weren't so precious
and no worlds where shorted wires had kept us
things would be better than this
there's an angel by the ocean i miss
and trips on the train
before our lives changed
the mirror where i watched your naked body strain
