Today we saw things of golden   and they were golden alright   today I helped you climb the highest fence   and when you fell down, I couldn’t help but laugh   but now it’s just so sad   ‘cause I’m further away each day   as the darkness swallows you and summer keeps raging   and so I run across the lawn   just leave me out of this, just get me home   ‘cause I’ve seen things that I could do without   and I’ve seen empty shells climb around from back to back   and it’s a long walk through the neighborhood   pass all those faces staring at you from behind closed curtains   and they think they know love   but they really don’t have a clue   just keep your head low and your fingers crossed   and we’ll walk right through   while summer keeps raging   I want to go high   I want to see the countryside from above   I want to sit next to you   I want to hear your voice   I want so be a child   ‘cause this world was never meant for me   I need to leave it behind   I need to see something   I need to get out
