Streetlights

I was sitting in my room
When I heard the doorbell ring
It was my friend right outside
He was waiting there for me
So I ran back to the kitchen
Asked my mom if I could go

She said that's okay
Don't be gone too long
Come back when the streetlights come on

Come on, come on
Don't be gone too long
Don't stay out past dark
You've spent all day at the park
Come on, come on
Make your way back home
The sun is gone
So it's time for you to go

It's a sunny, summer day
No plans, no school, no delay
Let's go on an adventure
Games of tag that last forever
Pretend the alleyway was a hallway in a
Desolate castle in a kingdom
Parents couldn't keep us inside
Even if they tried

They'd say that's okay
Don't be gone too long
Come back when the streetlights come on

Come on, come on
Don't be gone too long
Don't stay out past dark
You've spent all day at the park
Come on, come on
Make your way back home
The sun is gone
So it's time for you to go

No matter the day
You couldn't keep us from laying
On the street in the rain
Ride our bikes through the drains
Even though we're all gone
And everyone has moved on
These are the memories that have stayed
On the street in the rain

But we know, it's okay
We couldn't be gone too long
Had to grow up when the streetlights came on
