a boy and a girl

This boy wants to play,
wants to play so hard.
There’s no time left today,
it’s a shame ’cause he has to go home.

This boy’s got to work,
Got to sweat just to pay,
what he gets to get left all alone.
what he gets to get love on a loan.

Well let’s step outside,
Let’s go for a ride,
Just for a while.
Relive love.

No we won’t get caught,
Well that’s what I thought,
until we cry
ourselves to sleep.

I’m still here,
But it hasn’t been easy,
I’m sure that you had your reasons,
reasons meant to appease.

I’m scared for this emotion,
For years I’ve been holding it down,
I’m scared of this emotion,
I can’t hold it down anymore.

This girl tries her best everyday,
tries so hard to be her best.
But it’s all gone to waste
because there’s no one around,

This girl she can draw she can paint,
Likes to dance, loves to sing
she can skate, she’s a saint
now she don’t make a sound.

We’ll play in our park,
‘Till it’s too dark for us to see
Well we’ll make our way home,
With mud on our clothes,
and grass in our hair.

She won’t be pleased.
He will be pissed.

I’m still here,
But it hasn’t been easy,
I’m sure that you had your reasons,
reasons for holding the leash

I’m scared for this emotion,
For years I’ve been holding it down.
I’m scared of this emotion,
I can’t hold it down anymore.

And I,
Love to forgive
and forget.

So I,
Try to put all this
behind us.

Just,
Know that my arms
are wide open,

The older I get,
the more that I know,
the more i love.

Well it’s time to let this go.
I got to let it go
I got to let it go
I got to let it go
I got to let it go…

I’m still here,
But it hasn’ been easy,
I’m sure that you had your reasons,
reasons for tearing the peace.

I’m scared for this emotion,
For years I’ve been holding it down.
I’m scared of this emotion,
I can’t hold it down anymore.

This boy is free
free to flee.

This girl is lost,
lost to be found.

We’ll meet in our heart,
dinner’s too dark for us to see.
