Summers Gone

I just miss growing up and seeing the summer come and pass by
With no time left for homework and finger painting
I miss the days we would lay in the grass and say
I dont want to grow up, I dont want to work, I wont have to work
Now we know it was lies, now you know where we are
The sun is shining and where are we
Hiding in salt water under the sea
Working nine to five to see us through the weekends

I miss smoking behing the bike sheds
The summers wasted at top top heat
Laying on our backs and knowing we would never move
Kiss chase and holding hands
Here we are twelve years on soberd in to suicide
Passing out in paradise and waking up in hell
Dont you miss the golden days of school

Friends have come and gone
But here we are all holding hands and not knowing where we are
Here we are, like family, passing out on a strangers floor
Creating stories of our own, for grandchildren like none's gone before
Here we are, sulking in our own missory
Running riot and drowning in place
Our dreams are all that are real

Morning comes and I walk out of my stranger's door
I smell smell's like summers come and gone
Close my eyes and the children are here
Danceing in the summers breeze and picking daisies beautiful as their eyes are pure
In twelve years time they will be standing here openeing their eyes
No more memories of summers come and gone
