Today we saw things of golden
and they were golden alright
today I helped you climb the highest fence
and when you fell down, I couldn't help but laugh
but now it's just so sad
‘cause I'm further away each day
as the darkness swallows you and summer keeps raging
and so I run across the lawn
just leave me out of this, just get me home
‘cause I've seen things that I could do without
and I've seen empty shells climb around from back to back
and it's a long walk through the neighborhood
pass all those faces staring at you from behind closed curtains
and they think they know love
but they really don't have a clue
just keep your head low and your fingers crossed
and we'll walk right through
while summer keeps raging
I want to go high
I want to see the countryside from above
I want to sit next to you
I want to hear your voice
I want so be a child
‘cause this world was never meant for me
I need to leave it behind
I need to see something
I need to get out
