We'll catch a ride to the mall

Go down to the arcade

Cuz that's where all t

he cool kids hang

Tell your mom you

need a day off

Cuz I don't feel

boards down the hill

And to the playground

Where everything's okay

Tell your mom that

we'll be home late

Cuz building cabins in

the woods is hard work

You are a home

town kid like me

Cuz we worked

up an appetite

We've gone our

Why can't it be

the way it was

Where pain was

only plastic guns

My closest friend

I couldn't see

You are a million miles away

hold my breath

There is no harm

And I guess I'll

hold my breath

And I guess I'll

hold my breath
