Growing Up
May 13, 2015
I love it when a kid’s nice and polite
Most kids are
I keep picturing all these little kids
Playing some game in this big field of rye
I have to catch everybody if they start to go over the cliff
It made me feel better
I'd just be the catcher in the rye
People are always ruining things
Certain things they should stay the way they are
That's one nice thing about carrousels
They always play the same songs
I thought of something
The thing with kids is
If they fall off they fall off
You have to let them
It made me feel better
