Photos in my pocket

Lyrics: Mingai Music: Mingai Arranger: Mingai Bike chain singing in the cul- de- sac Grass stains up my shins Chalk dust on your summer dress You laughed and pushed me in Paper boats in Clear rivers Racing toward the drain You drew hearts on my left wrist Every time it rained Photos in my pocket Colors starting to fade Still I see your freckles Like it was yesterday We were small We were stupid Thought that promise meant always Photos in my pocket Hold the kids we used to play Hide- and- seek behind the swing set Fireflies in jars You said if you count to fifty You could almost touch the stars Shared a soda One straw shaking Hands both sticky Sweet You traced letters on the table Spelling" you+ me" Photos in my pocket Colors starting to fade Photos in my pocket Colors starting to fade Still I taste that cherry On a dare we both made We were scared We were certain Thought that summercouldn't change Photo in my pocket Smell like cut grass and your name Some days I find that shoebox Just to lose an hour or two Idon't miss who I was then I just miss that world with you Phtos in my pocket Colors starting to fade But the way you said my name Still refuses to age We grew up Took our chances Let those promises unspool Phtoso in my pocket Hold the proof we once were fools
