Sidewalk

Kenny brought the chalk and he's shaking the spray

Bobby blows bubble gum, ready to play

Sarah sticks her tongue out, she's got thumbs on her face

We never understood why daddy loves television

Lalalalalala

Everybody's saying things that make a kid want to cry

We just want to be outside, yeah

It's '09 and so fine, yeah

Sit back, soak up the sunshine, yeah

And now I stay inside and watch the pixels on the screen

But when I close my eyes I live in simple memories

I swear now, I can almost see the end

I just want to play in the sidewalk with my friends

Cut the jump rope

Bobby turns red

Tripped up, he could have lost his head

But Sarah don't quite like the sight of bloodshed

But everybody knows it's all right

We don't need kisses on little cuts

Cause I count the bells of the ice cream truck

We're outside, yeah

It's '09 and so fine, yeah

Six cones we'll get you next time, yeah

And now I stay inside and watch the pixels on the screen

But when I close my eyes I live in simple memories

I swear now, I can almost see the end

I just want to play in the sidewalk with my friends

And now I'm just as cold as any ATM machine

And I don't get the jokes in all the teenage magazines

I know now

That I'll never see the end

And I just want to play in the sidewalk

With my friends
