Today we saw things of goldennAnd they were golden alrightnToday I helped you climbnThe highest fence, the highest fencenAnd when you fell down, I couldn’t help but laughnnBut now it’s just so sadn‘Cause I’m further away each daynAs the darkness swallows younAnd summer keeps ragingnnAnd so I run across the lawnnJust leave me out of thisnJust get me homen‘Cause I’ve seen things that I could do withoutnAnd I’ve seen empty shells climb aroundnFrom back to backnAnd it’s a long walk through the neighborhoodnPass all those faces staring at you from behind closed curtainsnnAnd they think they know lovenBut they really don’t have a cluenJust keep your head low and your fingers crossednAnd we’ll walk right throughnWhile summer keeps ragingnnI wanna go highnI wanna see the countryside from abovenI wanna sit next to younI wanna hear your voicenI wanna be a childn‘Cause this world was never meant for menI need to leave it behindnI need to see somethingnI need to get outnI need to get outnI need to get out
