I won't forget when I couldn't go to bed with the lights off When I heard that voice call me in for the night I remember when love was just a word and not a fight All I had to worry about were broken bones and being left alone Way back then there were monsters in my closet And now there's just skeletons hiding in there The clock is ticking away The leaves are still falling every day The sunburn on my shoulders kept warm back then Like the heat from the blacktop again and again I remember when smoke didn't fill my lungs When my hands were lost and so young It seemed like the houses were touching the sky And I thought this smile on my face would never lie Oh, the summer we were staring at the sun The summer we were staring at the Oh, the summer we were staring at the sun Way back then there were monsters in my closet And now there's just skeletons hiding in there The clock is ticking away The leaves are still falling every day The sunburn on my shoulders kept warm back then Like the heat from the blacktop again and again
