Created for a picture collaboration called "When We Were Kids" on www.hitRECord.org. I suck at taking pictures, but am decent at making sad songs about being a kid, so I gave it a shot.

lyrics

when we were kids // we knew the score
and it was always in our favor
when we were kids // when we were bored
we would count the dots on the ceiling

we had all the time in the world
when each day bled into the next
i will cherish them always

when we were kids // we couldn't imagine
how the world would feel without our parents around
and as we grew up // it slowly dawned on us
that what we had was not attainable again

let's not regret those foolish games we played
we were kids and it seemed logical then
what little the pictures can tell us now
is all we'll have as the memories decay
i will cherish you always

i always pretended i was asleep...
