42

See grandma in the garden
Playing with the kids
I wish that I was out there
By myself again
But now I stay inside
Hiding from the crowds
I used to be so loud
Now I try not to make a sound

But I wanna get back to that life
I wanna feel something…

“Good morning, it’s your birthday!”
Middle of the heat
Another fake birthday party
I’d rather stay asleep
So now I just don’t say

When it’s my big day
26 years came and went
In such record speed

But I wanna get back to my life
I wanna feel something inside

But in a couple years we’ll
Drive past grandma’s house
No remnants of our pine trees
Or cherry blossom snow
I knew they’d tear it down
And pull up some modern home
Pave over the garden
That I took my first steps on

But I wanna get back to that life
I wanna feel something inside
Take me home where I belong
Where do I belong?
