Back in the Day

We stood at the end of the summer
Taking a look at the sun
We walked to the edge of the suburb
Wondering what had begun
And how is a boy in a new pair of shoes
Supposed to get up without hurting
When nothing is certain but twitching at curtains
Nothing is further from getting you further
And back in the day when the way and the summers were long
I’m in the way when once all I could do was belong
I keep looking back and it’s misting
Something is caught in my eye
Time keeps on turning and twisting
When good can be made into bye
From the tip of my tongue it’s all coming out wrong
How can I tell you I love you
When where we are standing I’m not understanding
Where we go next, is it best just to guess
And back in the day when the way and the summers were long
I’m in the way when once all I could do was belong
Do you have to soldier on alone
You don’t have to shoulder all the load alone
And day’s going fast and I can’t let it pass
I’ll always have something to tell you
But where we are standing I’m not understanding
Where we go next, is it best just to guess
And back in the day when the way and the summers were long
I’m in the way when once all I could do was belong
