What is it for?

Father said your feet won't touch the ground Mother's voice is very far away Summer's venture's something to be found It's a feeling you would feel Grandma's fire is dancing to the sound Radio is humming as you play Morning frost still clinging to the ground It's a feeling you would feel So what is it for? When I seem miles away I still see it now It won't stay too long, then it goes But I still feel the same I still see it now It won't stay too long Sunday night is fading as we talk Neon lighting flickers as we walk Muffled conversations, lost in thought It's a feeling you would feel So what is it for? When I see miles away I still see it now It won't stay too long, then it goes But I still feel the same I still see it now It won't stay too long And as the years unfold, the stories we're told, taking us home, another fear takes hold We're not meant to find, time pushing on So what is it for? When I see miles away I still see it now It won't stay too long, then it goes But I still feel the same I still see it now It won't stay too long So what is it for? When I see miles away I still see it now It won't stay too long, then it goes But I still feel the same I still see it now It won't stay too long Why ever leave those words unspoken? Time never sees that change Why ever leave those words unspoken? Time never sees that change It won't stay the same for another day
