You left the door wide open

For your thoughts to spill

But suppose your brain's already filled

But there's still some months to pick off where we once left off

When we didn't fail to spawn a newborn thought

You would sit back in the corner while I played my TV games

I said to wait your turn

But that turn never came

Now that we're older

I feel a bit ashamed

If you still want to

I'll take the lead

And I'll follow the way

I'm just so used to putting myself before everyone else

But I'll let go of that mantra

And I'll keep it on the shelf

We would play in the backyard

We would throw on the stones

Act like we're in the movies

Started making out own

We would take funny pictures

And weren't afraid to smile

I can't remember the last time

I'm guessing it's been a while

There's a point when your older

That you forget all the fun

I guess I'll throw on my jacket

And I'll go for a run

I was driving past your house and then I think I was afraid

Is it just some wall on a foundation and more than just a place?

I can see in my future

I'll spend miles and miles away

But if I'll live away from home

What difference does it make?

I'm holding on to something that I let go of years before

The past is just but history

The future is kicking down the door
