Like I Do

Well, saying life was good, couldn't scratch the surface
Drinking water out the hose, it was perfect
Didn't take too long for us to learn it
Everything going on had a purpose
Running down the hill, y'all were running beside me
Picked the berries through the fence by the high beam
Maybe later we can put 'em in some ice cream
Watch a movie and hide from the lightning

A few years later and it's daylight savings
On the back of the truck, y'all were waiting
Fireworks in the sky but they're fading
Not much but I sworn that we made it
I'm standing six feet tall, at least that's what I told ya
And the kids were getting high, I was sober
Yeah, you'd be proud though, you didn't even know it
Oh, you'd be proud, but you didn't even know it

And the streetlights are turning on a little early
I don't know if I should get home
And I'm not a kid no more but without me
I know that you'll worry on
Am I in my way? Do you know I'm safe?
Am I doing what I'm supposed to do?
Oh, what I'm supposed to do
Do you remember it like I do?

Then I moved away when we were closer than ever
I would call just to make me feel better
Trying hard to put my life back together
I think of you and the dew when there's weather
And I forgot where I was, when I lost my name
'Cause growing old and growing up just ain't the same
Head down to the ground, tryin' to play the game
Sun's down in my head, I can hear you say

Oh, the streetlights are turning on a little early
I don't know if I should get home
And I'm not a kid no more but without you
I just worry on
Am I in my way? Do you know I'm safe?
Am I doing what I'm supposed to do?
Oh, what I'm supposed to do
Do you remember it like I do?

And now I'm watching videos with dates on the corner
Blake's a kid and I was even younger
Those days, every year, we would wonder
Are we still to be kids any longer?
Mom's holding the camera, dad's making us laugh
Our chair, blonde hair, days don't really last
You say it doesn't really feel like the past
'Cause the slowest days seem to be gone too fast
