Lilacs

I was born in a small town
On the east coast
On the right side of Robichaud
Saw my life as a movie
I was playing
I dreamt of being old
I walked under the tall trees
I was praying
Trying to find hope

Now I live in the city
Where it happens
Where people come and go
I live to write my music
And alter
The values that I own
Its funny how things change
In the years
The era of my own

And I remember the smell of the summer wind
I saw the sunrises and red robins
The blueberry field I spent so much time singing
And I remember, I remember the lilacs

We drove down to the beach
It was august
2016
We drank beer that was stolen
We were wild
Was just past thirteen
We had dreams that we followed
Till they changed
Thats why we call them dreams

And I remember the smell of the summer wind
I saw the sunrise and red robins
The blueberry field I spent so much time singing
And I remember, I remember the lilacs

Im sitting in the old chair
By the window
While I look at you
We have done it all now
Yes we conquered
I think it time to go
I close my eyes to see you
Then you touch me
And then I see it all

I can smell the summer wind
I see the sunrise and the red robins
The blueberries field and you're there singing
And then I see, oh I see the lilacs
Those beautiful, beautiful lilacs
