now we've grown up (mothers' day II)

We'd get on our bikes and head out for ice cream
You could never catch up down the streets to me
Turn down Corvus Way, hide the bikes behind a tree
The three of us would sneak up the hill to 2703

It didn't need an address, it sat all alone
Enormous and marvelous at the end of the road
How strange it would be to have grown up there
With secrets and mysteries tangled in your hair

But now we've grown up, oh, all that I wanted
Was to give him a chance at the life we never got
But all that I did was ruin everything
Oh, what have I done? Now we've grown up

They'd speak of it sometimes, memories from Corvus Way
Afternoons spent together, warm cerulean days
And how they'd wished we could have also known the place
Secrets and mysteries etched in their face

We'd skulk around the lawn, pretending to be ghosts
Throwing pebbles at windows, leaving ominous notes
Thought maybe we could haunt it and scare that family off
Thought if were just theirs again, all our problems would be solved

But now we've grown up, oh, all that I wanted
Was to give him a chance at the life we never got
But all that I did was ruin everything
Today's mothers' day, I have nothing left to say
