cooking up ramen with Gypsy Rose Lee
bummin' at the Timmy's and getting things for free
catching the Bus and feeling the beat
lying in a circle in the middle of the street
sitting at Subway for hours on end
trying to find out what's really pretend
fighting, plotting, creative inspiration
gallons of teapot and gratification
Lucky Charms and malnutrition
writing letters to an apparition
sinful doings after dark
a group of bandits out in the park
all afraid to cross the street
I couldn't get them to move their feet
never learning, fires burning
but still the world keeps on turning
life goes off, life goes on
and soon enough, these days are gone
so many cups of tea ago
all of this was just for show
all of this was just a game
but nothing will ever be the same
every evening's left its mark
beautiful evenings safe in the dark
so here's to all the summer nights
here's to all the petty fights
for every time I climbed a tree
for all the times I felt this free
here's to all the music we made
to every afternoon in the shade
to dancing up and down the hall
so rest assured
I love you all
