Memories

Check another box, fill another line Think of days when your routine was Nothing more than just sleeping in Pavement burning hot, spray the water high Save a little for the fish Until it starts to burn your feet again Punch nine on the phone, worry in your eyes Ask her dad if she can join you Till the streetlights take the fun away Turn to channel three when you go inside Sitting close will probably hurt ya But we'll deal with that another day Being a kid don't last forever But what's forever to a child? Running after school, pushing through a crowd Reap the spoils of the test you'll never Tell them that you failed three times Car as old as you, but the motor's loud Light a smoke your buddy got ya From the station where the clerks are liars Didn't tell your mom who you were gonna meet If she saw y'all together You might never hear the end of it Take it out of gear off an empty street As the moonlight sucks away all that's left Of your innocence Being a kid don't last forever But what's forever to a child? And when the memories grant you sleep You'll relive them in your dreams Being a kid don't last forever But what's forever to a child? And when the memories grant you sleep You'll relive them in your dreams You'll relive them in your dreams
