Song Description

Male harbors a long held regret of what was probably his first and most powerful childhood love and questions what happened from a child's perspective when the girls parent divorce and move away causing him to never see her again...but not forget.

Lyrics

Lazy days of summer sun and sleeping in the shade
Memories of childhood and the lemonade we made
Running from that crazy dog and making paper kites
Stealing awkward kisses after turning out the lights

Remember how we used to fight then laugh all the way home
Write each other silly notes and talk for hours on the phone
Billy Harris told me that you said you'd marry me
And we'd live by the beach in a house built in a tree

Remember how the teachers used to make us sit apart
Drawing tattoos on our arms of each others heart
Used to make me angry that you ran faster than me
But I got an A for sport and you only got C

Remember how we used to fight then laugh all the way home
Write each other silly notes and talk for hours on the phone
Billy Harris told me that you said you'd marry me
And we'd live by the beach in a house built in a tree

Why did your dad decide to leave,
Why did your mom take you away
I still have the photograph you gave to me
And I still think about you every day

Never really liked your dad but said that he was cool
Couldnt wait for mornings when your mom drove us to school
Loved it when my mom said you were pretty as blue sky
Never really understood just what I felt or why

Remember how we used to fight then laugh all the way home
Write each other silly notes and talk for hours on the phone
Billy Harris told me that you said you'd marry me
And we'd live by the beach in a house built in a tree

Why did your dad decide to leave,
Why did your mom take you away
I still have the photograph you gave to me
And I still think about you every day
