about

This song is about the neighborhood that I grew up in, June Avenue.

lyrics

I drove around my old neighborhood
The smell of the trees and the grass must have brought me back
I could see our parents in the driveway as we biked away
Living in our innocents and joy as we watched the world through a different set of eyes
I let the memories take me back, oh take me back
To the games of cops and robbers in our backyards
As we chase each other in the rain and snow
I think, oh I know, that I’m never gonna feel this way again
Do you still think about what you thought that you were going to be?
How this is never what you thought that you were going to be?
Do you ever think you got the short end of the stick?
The world never gave me what I thought it would or what it should
As I drove away I thought I saw my grandparents waving goodbye
I could hear their voices as I turned around to wave goodbye
I don’t know why I thought that they’d be standing there
Like they used to when I was young before they passed away
Do you still think about what you thought that you were going to be?
How this is never what you thought that you were going to be?
Do you ever think you got the short end of the stick?
The world never gave me what I thought it would or what it should
I drove around my old neighborhood
The smell of the trees and the grass must have brought me back
I could see our parents in the driveway as we biked away
Living in our innocents and joy as we watched the world through a different set of eyes
