lyrics

Skipping stones and skipping gym class
all done playing by the rules
we learned more in that meadow
than we ever did in school

trading cards and trading kisses
all burnt out and feeling restless
we both wanted to taste freedom
and it was best straight from the skin

chorus:
Bold with naivete and oh so ready
for our futures to catch up with our dreams
impatient to dull the shine of our youth
our hopes were concrete,
all we had to do was believe

sneaking out and sneaking back in
sure our parents didn't understand
we just had to be together
certain it would go as planned

Chorus
