Story Behind The Song

Lyrics about remembering growing up

Song Description

Nostalgia about growing up

Lyrics

Watching the grass growing up 'round the car in the yard
All of the panels succumbed to the rust of our past
Remember it shone in the sun as we filled it with dreams
A sepia map and that compass would only point east

Watching the creeper reclaiming the old metal swing
Sometimes it moves but it's only the breath of the wind
Remember we thought we could fly those long summer days
Blissful, chaotic and lost in this wonderful maze

You don't miss it 'til it's gone
And then you miss it every day
With a suitcase full of nothing
I won't be back this way
You don't miss it 'til it's gone
And then you miss it every day
With a suitcase full of nothing
I won't be back this way

Watching the paint peeling back from the door of the shed
Secrets revealed from a time when we were still dead
Remember the paint hadn't dried when it started to rain
We sheltered inside as the storm took the church on the lane

Watching the weeds growing up through the cracks in our lives
Relentless they push through the tiniest gaps they can find
Remember you planted the seeds that we bought from the store
They grew up in rows like an army preparing for war

You don't miss it 'til it's gone
And then you miss it every day
With a suitcase full of nothing
I won't be back this way

You don't miss it 'til it's gone
And then you miss it every day
With a suitcase full of nothing
I won't be back this way
