Someplace They Won't Find You
We rode out to the trail
Told our parents we'd be back
Hopped a fence at the end
Disappeared in the grass
Tied a string to a tree
Watched it unravel as we advanced
Champions of a summer we'd never last
We were running
Now we're running out of time
We were something
Moved like ghosts in the night
Under pretend northern lights
Everything we imagined
Started coming to life
Felt as tall as the trees
Young explorers in modern times
Always searching for something we'd never find
The things we dreamed of
Some could never fathom
We were burning up
Now we're burning out
I never thought we'd become
Increasingly common
Now we're giving in to growing up
