Blue Ziplock Summer

Lyrics

[Verse 1] My bike had one bent wheel But I rode it anyway Dirty knees, scraped palms And a popsicle that dripped away Ma called me in at dusk I begged for one more turn The whole block felt so big Till the porch light watched me burn [Pre-Chorus] Back when time was slow And every summer had a name We were small but loud And we knew the playground game [Chorus] Take me back To the backyard sky Take me back To the firefly drive We were younger then And the world felt new Take me back I’m still that kid with you (with you) [Verse 2] Cereal in a red bowl Cartoons on a scratched-up screen Comic books and plastic trucks And a hand-me-down pair of jeans Grandma saved my best T-shirt For the days I’d stay and play Now her house lives in my head Like a song I can’t explain [Pre-Chorus] Back when time was slow And every summer had a name We were small but loud And we knew the playground game [Chorus] Take me back To the backyard sky Take me back To the firefly drive We were younger then And the world felt new Take me back I’m still that kid with you (with you) [Bridge] I still hear the screen door I still taste the rain I still see my dad laughing Calling me by my old name If I close my eyes now I can touch that day Little hands, big dreams Never far away [Final Chorus] Take me back To the backyard sky Take me back To the firefly drive We were younger then And the world felt new Take me back I’m still that kid with you Take me back To the porch light glow Take me back To the ones I know If I lose my way Let me find that view Take me back I’m still that kid with you (with you)
