Story Behind The Song

A bittersweet story about two friends who were each other's first love.

Song Description

This song is about the innocence, excitement and clarity of being young. It is something that shapes who we become and something that will we can look back on from a different perspective. The melancholy tone of the song captures our love of a simpler time, when one's entire world could be captured in a sandbox.

Lyrics

Kids

Feels like just yesterday we'd run around without our shoes,
Barefoot hand in hand with you.
Make rules to break rules,
Big trouble standing three foot two.
You were the only rebel I knew

As years change people change too,
And childhood plans don't always follow through.

We'd build a house that we call our own
A getaway built ten feet off the ground.
Buy me pretty things and we'd settle down
And reminisce about things we did like
How you held my hand (When you got scared)
Built castles in the sand (The dreams we shared)
These are the things that we have done with so much left to do like
Get married and grow old with you.

Today I thought of you and if I ever cross your mind.
Flashbacks to days when you were mine.

As years change people change too
And childhood plans don't always follow through

We'd build a house that we call our own
A getaway built ten feet off the ground.
Buy me pretty things and we'd settle down
And reminisce about things we did like
How you held my hand (When you got scared)
Built castles in the sand (The dreams we shared)
These are the things that we have done with so much left to do like
Get married and grow old with you.

So many years since I've seen your face
But it doesn't mean that those days were wasted
Made our mistakes and it's way too late
To go back to those days when...

We'd build a house that we call our own
A getaway built ten feet off the ground.
Buy me pretty things and we'd settle down
And reminisce about things we did like
How you held my hand (When you got scared)
Built castles in the sand (The dreams we shared)
Plastic wedding bands (The day we fell in love)
The first kiss that we had (It took a try or two)
Then you were my man (Always there for you...)
