Imagination

Lets go back to when we hopped from the wood to the carpet
And spun 'round and around and around yea
Spun 'round and around and around yea
Parents lookin' at us we crazy
But they don't see our imagination
Spinnin' all around in the livin' room
But in our heads we're on the moon

Got no chores no things to do
Explorin' life with ahs and oos
We can go anywhere we choose
All up in the same room

Lost in the deep blue ocean
Sharks below ya
Tryna swim away but the waves keep rollin'
Water in your face can't see the shore but
It's ok cause the birds will guide the way
So you swim swim swim til you see the dolphins
Jumpin' out the water right beside ya

But then
Mom says times up
Swing the curtain to the side of the bathtub
Moms givin' you that disappointed look
Cause she is standin' in the puddle that you made

Now you're runnin' round the house wit' a toy plane
Stuck in the middle of a storm yellin mayday
Attention crew we're not gonna make it
Abort abort we're goin' down

Pull the door wide open
Thousands of feet below ya
Grab a parachute take a look down
So many thoughts goin' through yo head

Jump
Immediate rush of adrenaline
Can't even feel a thing
Suddenly ceilingless
Consciously breathing in
Wind against your face now you start to feel again
Go to pull the chute but

Dad pops in says playtimes over
Dinners ready and it's getting colder
Sometime soon you need to grow up
But why can't we be kids even when we're older
Why does everything gotta come to an end
I mean ya only live once what's wrong wit' playin' pretend
And life ain't gon' be butterflies and rainbows I get that
But like does it really have to be so serious
