[Verse]

Kenny brought the chalk and he's shaking the spray

Bobby blows bubble gum, ready to play

Sarah sticks her tongue out, she's got thumbs on her face

We never understood why daddy loves television

[Pre-Chorus]

La-la-la-la-la-la-la

Everybody's saying things that make a kid wanna cry

We just wanna be outside yeah

It's '09 and so fine yeah

Sit back soak up the sunshine yeah

[Chorus]

And now I stay inside and watch the pixels on the screen

But when I close my eyes I live in simple memories

I swear now, I can almost see the end

I just wanna play on the sidewalk with my friends

[Verse]

Cut the jump rope, Bobby turns red

Tripped up, he could've lost his head

But Sarah don't quite like the sight of bloodshed

But everybody knows it's alright

[Verse]

We don’t need kisses on little cuts

'Cause I count the bells of the ice cream truck

We're outside, yeah

It's '09 and so fine, yeah

Six cones, we'll get you next time, yeah

[Chorus]

And now I stay inside and watch the pixels on the screen

But when I close my eyes I live in simple memories

I swear now, I can almost see the end

I just wanna play on the sidewalk with my friends

[Verse]

Now I'm just as cold as any ATM machine

And I don't get the jokes in all the teenage magazines

I know now that I'll never see the end

And I just wanna play on the sidewalk

With my friends
