Straight Lines - Dawn Landes

Remember when we were young

How you asked everyone to marry you

All of those songs we sung

Changing all the words you used to make the heroine die

Why?

Remember when we were right

God threw his darts at stars in the night

I had a kite

You had a trampoline and a BMX bike

You didn’t even like

I don’t want to say it’s breaking my heart

And I don’t know where to start

Old friends are falling apart

Time like the name of a man

Covered and we both can whine

I miss the straight, straight lines

The old times

Remember when we got caught

Dirty hands and make-believe drugs

We never got

Give me all your money

Bank robbers and cowboy cops

Make-believe rocks

Remember when we held hands

Red rover and marching band

You had a tan

Staying outside that long’s gonna make you man

Never going back, never going back again

I don’t want to say it’s breaking my heart

And I don’t know where to start

Old friends are falling apart

Time like the name of a man

Covered and we both can whine

I miss the straight, straight lines

The old times

The old times

Remember when we were young

Remember when we were young
