picking flowers

I can hear my parents calling Picking flowers in the garden Easy to amuse Didn't keep up with the news That was back when rent was cheaper Dirty t-shirts, beat up sneakers Everything was new And not a thing we couldn't do Heres to the dreams that we had back when we laughed And we didn't know that there would be days that were bad We felt the love and we loved what we had Not all the money we stash We wouldn't fight back the tears when we were sad Gave everybody a chance What happened to all the dreams that we had Never by myself Couldn't reach me at my cell Didn't have to work back then Our parents were the ATMs When it was easy to be grateful Whatever we had we were thankful Didn't worry about the bills Every now and again I just think back to when I can hear my parents calling Picking flowers in the garden Easy to amuse Didn't keep up with the news That was back when rent was cheaper Dirty t-shirts, beat up sneakers Everything was new And not a thing we couldn't do Heres to the dreams that we had Back when we laughed and we didn't know that There would be days that were bad We felt the love and we loved what we had Not all the money we stash We wouldn't fight back the tears when we were sad Gave everybody a chance What happened to all the dreams that we had Heres to the dreams that we had Back when we laughed and we didn't know that There would be days that were bad We felt the love and we loved what we had Not all the money we stash We wouldn't fight back the tears when we were sad Gave everybody a chance What happened to all the dreams that we had
