lyrics

I miss the way you drape yourself right on my aching shoulders
An imaginary cape fit for a superhero scared of getting older
Kids like us now how to call it when we see it
Only gets to be a problem when we don't know how to beat it

I miss how when you smile it looks just like California
But I haven't seen both in a long, long while I hope they're nice and warm
I'm apprehensive that we might be growing up too quickly
It's tough to keep on trucking but just know I miss you dearly
It's so clear to me

I wish that I could live life on your front lawn
'Til the plants are all paved over and the paint upon your house is almost gone
It's chipping off
And when you're too scared to go outside
I'd be there on your front lawn

I told you if you had too many books I'd build a custom shelf
But you just read the liner notes articulating how to be yourself esteem is something that I formerly admired
It's looking sort of thin these day you seem like you're real tired
Please know I'm trying

I wish that I could live life on your front lawn
'Til the plants are all paved over and the paint upon your house is almost gone
It's chipping off
And when you're too scared to go outside
I'd be there

You ask why I'd stick around
You mentioned that there's so much more to see
Don't want to paraphrase you
But I think in terms of always you know

I wish that I could live life on your front lawn
'Til the plants are all paved over and the paint upon your house is almost gone
It's chipping off
And when you're too scared to go outside
I'd be there on your front lawn
