Grass Stains

Stretched arms on the dewy grass

I feel the dirt in my hair and the dampness on my back

Thinking now I wish I would’ve stayed standing

Then I would’ve kept my favorite shirt

But it was grass stained that day

Grabbing drinks with some distant friends

Now to forget your name

Or what came of a summer throwing our time around

Like we had too many days and not enough to worry about

But I’m 19 now

Im not old but old enough to know

That time goes by fast but as I kid I remember it being slow

Like the water in the creek near my house

Slowly passing by and polishing the rocks as it goes

crammin pocket money into tall vending machines

for cheap salty chips and sugar to rot my teeth

i remember those green streaks on my shirt

And the childish disregard for any mess

throw my time at something and hope it works

i was grass stained that day

Grabbing drinks with some distant friends

Now to forget your name

Or what came of a summer throwing our time around

Like we had too many days and not enough to worry about

But I’m 19 now

Im not old but old enough to know

That time goes by fast but as I kid I remember it being slow

Like the water in the creek near my house

slowly passing by and polishing the rocks as it goes
