Let's take a walk past the bridge
Past the houses of our all of our friends from when we were young
and all the other kids we knew through our brothers and sisters
It felt like we could never get away
Let's take a walk past the hill
Through the sticks of my forefathers and over the palette bridges left over by the ones before us
If only they knew the way they were paving
We'd make our way to the bench where we would defy all the lessons they taught
They always tried to scare us with the dangers of the way we were headed
Told us if we followed that road that we'd never make it anywhere
But we were always up for an adventure
Always looking for a way to escape
And we knew about the perfect time and place
We'd stay just long enough to waste the day
And watch the sun fall down and fade away
Beneath the repeating tree line
Tell me what you think about your old friends
and how still to this day they're still your good friends
I bet it's not because they're symbols of morality and
Tell me what you think about the road you chose
and how you don't regret a thing you did
I bet you wouldn't change what got you here
well I'm taking bets
