Story Behind The Song

I was watching saturday morning cartoons and a commercial for easy bake ovens came on. Got me thinking about the symbols of my childhood and sent me into a deep reflection of what those years meant to me.

Song Description

This song is a reminiscent, happy and positive look back on childhood. It reflects on symbols of my own childhood as well as my views of life and love at that time in my life.

Lyrics

Verse 1
I always wondered if I could be your Captain Thunder
You'd be my lighting... Together we'd be so frightening
In the playpen we'd stay then fighting crime until bed time
One more story I implore thee, but please won't you leave the night light on
Chorus
You, Me and Optimus Prime
We'd have a real good time
And if you would like to grow up you just shouldn't show up
Verse 2
We could live in a castle by the sea if you please
We'd hold off the siege, we could fight the cavalry
All the lego would say oh you two should act your age
So put away those horses and play thrones while mother is on the phone
Chorus
You, Me and Optimus Prime
We'd have a real good time
And if you would like to grow up you just shouldn't show up
Bridge
And when we get older I'll become a soldier
But you'll wait and I'll get home safe
We can pick it up where we left it off
Verse3
We could have our friends over for tea nightly
Biscuits from the easy bake on your birthday a DQ cake
And some snowcones I should think so, big league chew I know
Blowing bubbles make it double but don't let it pop or we might get in trouble
Chorus
You, Me and Optimus Prime
We'd have a real good time
And if you would like to grow up you just shouldn't show up
