Outside Kinda Kids

I remember being younger building tree houses Until we were called inside Used to sit and watch the races by the window Pick a rain drop to cross the line Paper planes were more than what they seemed, they taught us things Gave us wings to fly Playing eye spy with my little eye to pass the time On those long car rides We used to be outside kinda kids Plasters covered our skin We used to ride down to see our friends On bikes our fathers built Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh I want our kids to know Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Summer nights camp fire songs I remember when my mother let me mow the lawns Rich from all my coins Marco Polo in local pool, right after school Making up the rules We used to be outside kinda kids Plasters covered our skin We used to ride down to see our friends On bikes our fathers built Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh I want our kids to know Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Summer nights camp fire songs Where the rope swing hit water A Polaroid moment How Jack met Diane, you know Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh I want our kids to know These days, trees are wrapped in caution tape Plasters on expiry date God forbid you say the wrong thing Some say those will be the good old days Back when all we did was play Living in a simple old place Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh I want our kids to know Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Summer nights camp fire songs Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh I want our kids to know Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Summer nights camp fire songs Where the rope swing hit water A Polaroid moment How Jack met Diane you know Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh I want our kids to know
