These Streets
Timmy swore he'd be a baseball player
And Johnny swore that he would go to the moon
Jerry had real potential
But to the life of drugs is how he'd lose
I saw failure in Aarons eyes
When his mother told him of his father's lies
Steve was only 17 when his son was born
While Jessica left him broken and torn
How can a kid become a man
If he's broken inside and he don't understand
They wrote me off they said I'd go nowhere
Tried to say that my parents didn't care
But with open arms they stood by
I'm sorry for all the nights I made them cry
This is the street that made me who I am
If I could go back I do it all again
'Cause this street was our playground
I can't believe that it's over now
As I stare out the window
All that remains are shadows
Images left that once was
Broken dreams left from us
You can take these scars away
But I'll still bleed right here
'Cause I don't wanna leave
'Cause you believed in me
'Cause this street was our playground
I can't believe that it's over now
Yeah, these streets were our playground
I can't believe that it's over now
(Whoa)
Thoughts of where all the time went (the time went)
Our dreams died on this pavement
Memories for a lifetime
Give it all just for one night
Let's go back to the way it used to be
We had it all when we had nothing
Together we could conquer anything
Fragile dreams and cold concrete
'Cause this street was our playground
I can't believe that it's over now
Yeah, these streets were our playground
I can't believe that it's over now
(Whoa)
So as I stand here looking back
We've all taken different paths
The broken dreams we raise our glass
To promises that never last
To a street filled with so much hope
And to being young and broke
We only had one thing to fear
Singing this song right here
'Cause this street was our playground (it's our playground)
I can't believe that it's over now (it's over now)
Yeah, these streets were our playground (it's our playground)
I can't believe that it's over now
(Whoa)
(Whoa)
And Johnny swore that he would go to the moon
Jerry had real potential
But to the life of drugs is how he'd lose
I saw failure in Aarons eyes
When his mother told him of his father's lies
Steve was only 17 when his son was born
While Jessica left him broken and torn
How can a kid become a man
If he's broken inside and he don't understand
They wrote me off they said I'd go nowhere
Tried to say that my parents didn't care
But with open arms they stood by
I'm sorry for all the nights I made them cry
This is the street that made me who I am
If I could go back I do it all again
'Cause this street was our playground
I can't believe that it's over now
As I stare out the window
All that remains are shadows
Images left that once was
Broken dreams left from us
You can take these scars away
But I'll still bleed right here
'Cause I don't wanna leave
'Cause you believed in me
'Cause this street was our playground
I can't believe that it's over now
Yeah, these streets were our playground
I can't believe that it's over now
(Whoa)
Thoughts of where all the time went (the time went)
Our dreams died on this pavement
Memories for a lifetime
Give it all just for one night
Let's go back to the way it used to be

Fragile dreams and cold concrete
'Cause this street was our playground

Yeah, these streets were our playground (it's our playground)
I can't believe that it's over now
(Whoa)
(Whoa)
