Now I turn to backyards
Boys and girls in baseball games
Foul ball the kids chase after
Saving for a souvenir

Chewing gum and candy wrappers
In the major/minor leagues
Philadelphia or Reading makes no difference to me

You speak of upsides
I've seen it upside down
Crayons the lines break
I've watched my heart burn
Burn
Burn

Standing on the corner beneath too many street lights
Too many shades too many colors makes an ugly picture
I've let these lines paint me
And now I finally get it
Okay, can it be over?
You say never, never for me

You speak of upsides
I've seen it upside down
Crayons the lines break
I've watched my heart burn
Burn
Burn

Where is the downside?
When it comes, I'll be down
Crayons the lines break
Crayons the lines break

You speak of upsides
I've seen it upside down
Crayons the lines break
I've watched my heart burn
Burn
Burn
