two kids are on a swingset   outside by me and you   and i can't quite place where i placed my keys   the sun is setting the moon is bright tonight   and i love the shadow our hands cast by the trees   the leaves don't fall anymore 'cause it's summer thank god for that   and i could run away, i've got legs for that   but i've got a home now and i like it here   the birds outside my door   sing me to sleep i'm sure   to thank them everynight and keep in touch   with the friends i thought i'd lost somehow i always find them where i left them   i'm beginning to think my parents were right all along   i used to be scared of love   but now i keep it close, without it we would all forget to breathe   fairly soon i want to move to a small house on the coast   just because the ocean's so damn pretty   like a flower pedal lost in the wind's relentless gust   i've forgotten where i'm from but still have hope   that i'll find myself a new life not too different from the old   where i'll laugh and get lost some more   and we'll still have inside jokes   and i'll still be so forgetful   and we'll trade in all our money for the simple things   they say dreams are uncertain   i say lies are overrated we should bury them and smile a little more   'cause if there's one thing i've learned   from being young and insecure   it's you don't need no money to live and be happy   just find some friends and forget all the worst
