state bird the mosquito
Off, on our own, and everything
I own, is in the back And we’re
heading to Minnesota
for just a nightWindows down, we breathe the
fumes of summer air
Without beds we choose the
pavement over grass
Interstate in a state we’ve
never known And
will have passed before we
even know its nameSo farewell to Farewell,
we burned slow We hit the
beaches when it’s hot Jack knife
fire in the lot I can’t imagine
my life before thisWe smoke the smokes’
just for the cancer
And stay up late just to
dance erratically,
And celebrate these times awayGreen light says go!
Our guiding lights hang from a pole
Watch them pass to pass the time
Road signs will lead us on
Someday we would
remember this
We closed our eyes
and met our
playground lips
The simplest touch,
back then it could
mean so much
In the eyes and
the mind of a
schoolyard crushWe were flush with
color and filled
with schemes
New for everyday
Our age couldn’t
hold down our untamed
dreams Which always got awayRewind
Where did you go
Where are you now
I thought the world
could not tear us apartOur youth was
filled with laughs
and laps We locked
our hands and
danced on wheels
To the songs we
knew by heartSomeday it had
to come to this
We closed our eyes
and met our high
school skin The simplest
touch, it could
hurt so much In the
eyes and the mind
of a teenage loveWe didn’t just
give it away Wish
a wish and cross your heart,
And then hope to die!
