Growing Pains

I'm driving away To fields of green Wide open skies Hand out my window Heat turned on It's still cold outside Can't seem to remember What spring felt like Even though it rained for days It never kept me inside Precious memories All fade with time Runny noses, itchy eyes The salmon swims before it dies We swim upstream We can't gain speed It drowns our dreams We kick and scream We can't find peace So we grab our keys and we drive away I pulled up next to The river bed I waded out real deep The weathered stones And white capped edges Scuffed and kissed my feet I'm breathing in And stepping back I can finally see The vapor rainbow The budding trees It's not a ghost of washed out dreams The gentle falls are just downstream
