lyrics

i know if you’d lived
next door when we were kids
we would have played on
the slides all day

i would have caught you
where the slide had dropped you
and picked you up to
go walking home

and as we walked i’d say
what children aren’t afraid of
about what slipped by
and we’d have held hands

and every july
when the creek ran bone dry
we’d go out each night
to catch fireflies

then it was so safe
our parents weren’t afraid
we would be alone
all night long

and as we ran in my
backyard there was nothing fake
in the way you paused
to stare up at stars

and then at Christmas
together we’d write wish lists
both knowing that it was
real

our parents would say
that’s enough go and play
in the snow and make
a snowman

and as we built him you’d say
he’ll be our child named William,
we’ll be the parents and he’ll
be ours forever

i know if you’d lived
next door when we were
kids i’d call you from my window

and i would shout to you
and scream out all that
now i’d never say out loud

now i’ll just whisper about
what children aren’t afraid of
and when you see it in the stars,
forever, it’s ours
