Streetlights

[Verse 1] Baseball cards in bicycle spokes Spinnin past white picket rows Drinkin water from the hose You know how it goes She wears a cardboard crown A pillow case around her neck and she's flyin Her kingdom risin from the dandelions [Chorus] The streetlights just came on Another damn day is gone The streetlights just came on It's time to call her home [Verse 2] Warm night air thick with fireflies Like little sparkling lights Grass-stained knees tell battle tales Battle scars of backyard wars and she's winnin Her kingdom risin from the dandelions [Pre-chorus] It's funny how When you're a kid, the world's so big And bedtime feels like giving in [Chorus] The streetlights just came on Another damn day is gone The streetlights just came on It's time to call her home [Bridge] Years will pass and she'll forget oh she'll forget the way those summer nights could stretch Youth slips through an hourglass Time goes by so fast Nothing good can last forever Nothing good can last forever [Final Verse] On paved roads, chalk drawings fade Time washing colors from the day Mom's voice floats on evening breeze Brings back summer memories A pillow case around her neck and she's flyin Her kingdom risin from the dandelions [instrumental] [Final Chorus] The streetlights just came on Another damn day is gone The streetlights just came on It's time to call her home (Time to call her home) [Outro] The streetlights just came on Oh, it's time to call her home
