Trampoline Lyrics

Eight eighty four

The sign on the door of this old house

Crossing the threshold

Moving in, figuring life out

But where do I put all that I'm carrying here?

Furniture and boxes

And anxious thoughts and fears

Come on, kids, show us how to live in the now

Through the window a beautiful breeze

Carries their laughter and beckons to me

Come have a seat out here by our trampoline

So here in this place

I will unload for a minute

Free to enjoy just a moment while I am in it

Oh, and I pray for a sign that it's going to be alright

After these lockdowns and all of these partisan fights

Oh I can't solve it all now

So if my mind will allow

I'll trampoline all my worries away

I think I've had enough drama today

If you need me

I'll be in the backyard on my trampoline

Oh gravity

Oh levity

No phone, no wallet, no keys

I know there's a lot

Answers we still don't have

And all is uncertain

But that doesn't mean it's all bad

So maybe the sun on your skin and the wind in your face

Can help you remember the joy that you might've misplaced

Just be careful of these

Forty year old knees

Don't forget there's a kid down inside

Who longs to be barefoot and jump and fly high

If you wanna break free

Come and join me on my trampoline
