Moving Day

The neighborhood dog used to run 'round in circles I'd go home but we never knew that one day My mom used to tie my long hair in braids It stuck with me and I've worn it short since A back window view of your sister smoking pot We never realized it hurts to be grown up And we all knew that the neighborhood was going away And we all followed the unspoken rules of the playground Don't tell me where you're going cuz I don't want you to leave Our crabapple fight memories are plaguing my mind like I'm still stuck in that tree The dent we made in our garage is blocked by The moving truck parked outside your front yard The boxes in my room are taking up the space Of the pillow forts we built back in fourth grade And you never knew it cuz I never told you I sat on my front porch watching you drive away And we all knew that the neighborhood was going away And we all followed our parents' paths with our backs up straight Don't tell me where you're going cuz I don't want you to leave Our crabapple fight memories are plaguing my mind like I'm still stuck in that tree The neighborhood dog used to run 'round in circles I'd go home but we never knew that one day
