Run

I want to live in the past

To revel in things I knew wouldn't last

To smelll the roses 

One last time 

And watch my memories flasing by 

Of a time when I felt happy

 

I smell summer 

The warm clean rain

That was a time I wasn't in pain 

I was free

 

Pitter Patter Drip

Goes the rain

Splitter Splatter Splat 

Goes the pain 

Screaming with joy

Yelling with hate 

Oh what a world 

We are bound to our fate

 

That was a time of sun 

That was a time I knew how to run 

But now Its winter 

I can not run 

The sun's gone away 

All I ever wanted to do was play 

But this is reality 

And he says no

He says put on your work clothes

It's time to go 

Get back to work 

No time for fun 

Summer time's over 

 

Run.
