Today we saw things of golden
And they were golden alright
Today I helped you climb the highest fence
And when you fell down, I couldn't help but laugh
But now it's just so sad
'cause I'm further away each day
As the darkness swallows you and summer keeps raging
And so I run across the lawn
Just leave me out of this, just get me home
'cause I've seen things that I could do without
And I've seen empty shells climb around from back to back
And it's a long walk through the neighborhood
Pass all those faces staring at you from behind closed curtains
And they think they know love
But they really don't have a clue
Just keep your head low and your fingers crossed
And we'll walk right through
While summer keeps raging
I want to go high
I want to see the countryside from above
I want to sit next to you
I want to hear your voice
I want so be a child
'cause this world was never meant for me
I need to leave it behind
I need to see something
I need to get out
