Wayward

Ice cream smiles
decorate our face
"Come home before curfew!"
We'd purposely stay out late

Running with scissors
"You'll poke your eye out kid!"
We'd slash holes in all the furniture
Point and laugh at what we did

Hopscotch and sidewalk chalk
Let's paint the town in red
The future is our canvas
There's no telling whats ahead

The glory days before us
Distant memories come to pass
All the white lies and secrecy
The passing of notes in class

We wanted to see the real world
Outside the schoolyard walls
They say it's no place for a boy and a girl
We weren't prepared at all

How were us kids to cope?
Innocence has now dissolved
Happiness gave way to heartbreak
And now there's no one to break our fall
