pretending we are kids Lyrics

If we met when we were kids

We would play outside

Screaming through the tall grass

Thinking of games to try

I'd pick up sticks and start to build

And we'd play for a while

Then after time you'd skip away

And I'd cry like a child

All I have is sticks and stones

I don't know what to build

Tiny fortresses in my yard

Never seem to be filled

I need to understand you

Because I don't know what you give

So I play along for now

Pretending we are kids

Sure we smile and giggle

I'm learning to have fun

Trying to keep up with you

I tumble and you run

But it seems like there;s no time

Like mom will call to eat

Or maybe soon the sun will set

And we will forget to speak

It's something special when it's springtime

A budding flower in the mist

We want so bad to make it last

But it crumples when we kiss

I know somewhere

Maybe in my heart

That this is all a wish

And that one day I will have to give it up

Pretending that we are kids
