It's been four summers now

And oh my how it’s changed

Some of you sleep till noon

And no one plays in the rain


Cereal is no longer breakfast food

Everything is healthy P O R T I O N E D and organic

You don't go biking in the TALL grass

You are terrified of getting ticks

You got rid of you Barbie helmet

And replaced it with some shades

Now your laying on a towel tanning the summer away

Instead of getting wet and rolling around in the sand for days

Everyone has their own speakers

No more community radio

Summer days are still so long

But now you stay up late

Counting stars at midnight

Wishing I was there, but that start number eight

Was I looking
