snow cones for a week

it sounds to me like morning all the lights are coming on
and all the birds are waking up to sing my favorite song
i can't speak for tomorrow but my love we've got today
so let's forget next week, forget next year
and let's just get away

let's stay up 'til three and take in everything we see
and promise to always stay thirteen even when we're forty-five
let's turn into trees and live off snow cones for a week
go anywhere in our bare feet if that's what makes us feel alive

growing up's for grown ups and you and i are anything but
so let's build a fort in your living room with the blankets from your bed
our friends are going off to school they say we're crazy if we don't too
but they'll wear business suits, work the nine-to-five, wear sneakers 'til we're dead

we'll sleep in 'til three and take in everything we see
and promise to always stay thirteen even when we're forty-five
so let's turn into trees and live off snow cones for a week
go everywhere in our bare feet if that's what makes us feel alive

let's talk quietly so we can hear the crickets sing
and promise to always stay, let's always stay thirteen
