lyrics

You come on softly as a spring night
Into honeysuckle silence, blue-white moonlight
And the paper lanterns dim behind us
Strolling down the driveway 'round the block you guide us
Past the Northside gates, the playground swings
Fence cut down so we slip in
Tudor neighborhood
I don't belong here
But I can't help following
Your windswept hair and oversized jeans
Your laughter at the stuff nobody else found funny
And our hands so close they could be touching
Yeah, but I've already done enough trespassing
This may be the one and only time
Watch you like I'm going blind
Padding barefoot on the pebbled pavement
Like it's cool sea foam or silky sand

Ten years nigh
Standing by
Catch my eye
You'll see why

There's a hole in my life where you should be
Some asshole by your side where I should be
Don't waste your time on a dream
Of some boy who's never seen
You barefoot on the Northside playground

Ten years nigh
Standing by
Catch my eye
You'll see why
