lyrics

summer days, a crowded playground / two kids in lonely corners / you offered to share a basketball / we'd been beat up by the same hands / the ones that held the bibles / two quiet mouths could suddenly talk for hours / now i don't feel so alone

then we climbed up on the roof / dreams of nooses on a swingset / safety on a netless trampoline / always listened to the same songs driving home from school / in the backseat yelling "play it again" / we said that this must be the place

all i wanted was to help you find a home that suffocating summer i was without my own / i felt comfort knowing you were lacking too but in me you found blame

you packed your books and toys and walked a few miles / now you're waiting for the next bus to take you to a new town / forget what we learned here

all i wanted was to help you find a home that suffocating summer i was without my own / i felt comfort knowing you were lacking too but in me you found blame
