Lyrics: Tricycle
We watched that summer burn away
With a rush
It never really meant
That much to us
But we’d act out just to fall apart
A priceless measure
Objet d’art
The wings we placed on our hands
Were ever free
Oooooh la la la
Oooooh la la la
Oooooh la la la
Ooooo-aaaaaa
We always took what we wanted
And never paid
We didn’t have convictions
We never strayed
They tried to tell us what we could do
If we could only just see this through
Looking back
The world was ours to loose
And we’d sing out:
Oooooh la la la
Oooooh la la la
Oooooh la la la
Oooooh
We never thought summer
Was slipping past
The best years of our lives
Sleeping with the enemy
The crime of the century
We’d probably never be
That young again
Jungle gyms and playing cars
Colored chalk and counting stars
Drawing houses, silly names
Recesses and playing games
Acting out and being bad
Bedtime stories, Mom & Dad
Halloween and candy corn
Summers off and Christmas morn
Fake IDs and sneaking out
Lip gloss kisses on the mouth
(Live and love and be the best you can be)
Chasing boys and chasing girls
Holding hands and movie thrills
(Live and love and be the best you can be)
Playing house and Barbie dolls
Blanket forts and soccer balls
(Live and love and be the best you can be)
Cotton candy, puppy dogs
Tinker toys, and tricycles
(Live and love and be the best you can be)
