lyrics

do you remember you remember
being just another kid on the block
playing jump rope
and drawing your dreams out in chalk
on the sidewalk
we'd sit there and talk
friends forever
"we'll always be together"
if you want me to come over
all you gotta do is knock
on my front door
home alone and bored
hiding money in your sock drawer
as if that's what it was meant for

going home
streetlights come on to warn you
it's coming
a new trial that you'll go through
and i'm over it
rent and bills and petty jobs
i'm stuck here watching the clock
remembering all the kids on the block
all the kids on the block
all the kids on the block

can you remember you remember
those summers spent by your poolside
melting ice cream
and all of that young pride
feeling like everything was all right
where has all that certainty gone
and when our parents would yell at us
of course we would make a fuss
cry and scream
we'd be told not to make a scene
but as adults we act emotionless
stone cold and full of stress
and i confess
i'm no stranger to this

going home
streetlights come on to warn you
it's coming
a new trial that you'll go through
and i'm over it
rent and bills and petty jobs
i'm stuck here watching the clock
remembering all the kids on the block
all the kids on the block
all the kids on the block
