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 to belong to

we dream of a day
when we can 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

those are the memories
​while we search for somewhere to belong to

we dream of a day
when we can 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

we just didn't know
we didn't
we just didn't
no we didn't
we just didn't know
we didn't know
didn't know yet

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
