Today we saw things of golden And they were golden alright Today I helped you climb The highest fence, the highest fence And when you fell down, I couldn't help but laugh But now it's just so sad 'Cause I'm further away each day As the darkness swallows you And summer keeps raging And so I run across the lawn Just leave me out of this Just get me home 'Cause I've seen things that I could do without And I've seen empty shells climb around From back to back And it's a long walk through the neighborhood Pass all those faces staring at you from behind closed curtains And they think they know love But they really don't have a clue Just keep your head low and your fingers crossed And we'll walk right through While summer keeps raging I wanna go high I wanna see the countryside from above I wanna sit next to you I wanna hear your voice I wanna be a child 'Cause this world was never meant for me I need to leave it behind I need to see something I need to get out I need to get out I need to get out
