lyrics

I used to play on a clear street
I’d walk a mile and rest my feet
Stand with leisure to catch my breath
Rest my optimistic eyes

Ambition is an evil gift
Mine started young there was no one to stop me
Work and play were one and the same
No need to stop the simple game

But then one day the play became work
Someone made rules that left me gasping
My peaceful walks became sprints
I’m running all around
But it’s not quite time yet to forget how to play

So now I lose my sleep
Cause god forbid there’s other time for release
My youthful eyes could not see in their dreams
That overspeculation would make me pencil in my vacations

But then one day the play became work
Someone made rules that left me gasping
My peaceful walks became sprints
I’m running all around
But it’s not quite time yet to forget how to play

I used to play on a clear street
I’d walk a mile and rest my feet
But now I’m forced to pick a passion
It’s a poison for a hungry soul
Tired eyes was not on my list of goals

I’m running all around
But it’s not time yet to forget how to play
