we didn't know

Lexi Lou · We Didn't Know

remember how we used to play outside
till the sun would hide
behind the trees
we'd write jokes
as we spoke
make everything rhyme
laugh until we were weak

those are the memories 
we'll hold onto
while we search for somewhere else 
to belong to

we dream of a day
when we could get away
go back to the place
where life was play

we know in our souls
we'll never grow old
don't want to let this go
but we didn't know

our paths are parting
our lives are slowly starting to take shape
but we liked our lines curved
before we heard
we had to change and make them straight

just do what we're told
take the mold of those who lead
but they don't seem to understand
what we really need

we dream of a day
when we could get away
go back to the place
where life was play

we know in our souls
we'll never grow old
don't want to let this go
but we didn't know

didn't know
we didn't know
didn't know

we'd dream of a day
when we could get away
go back to the place
where life was play

we know in our souls
we'll never grow old
don't want to let this go
but we didn't know​
