spice tree Lyrics

We were bored, our toes in the sand

You talked about the marching band

I wasn't paying attention

You covered your face with sidewalk chalk

Then filled your mouth with sea salt

You saw it as your redemption

You had a knack for the impossible

Although most never believed it

So you spent that summer

Searching for the spice tree from your dreams

I told you over and over it wasn't real

But you were too preoccupied to grow up

You were too preoccupied to grow up

We placed curses on gym teachers

You said diplomas made it worse

You weren't one for social construct

I recall where we sat rooftop view

You missed when everything felt new

You had a knack for the impossible

Although most never believed it

So you spent that summer

Searching for the spice tree from your dreams

I told you over and over it wasn't real

But you were too preoccupied to grow up

Oh, you were too preoccupied to grow up

Oh, you were too preoccupied to grow up

Oh, I wish you had the chance to grow up
