lyrics

Think back to the city and the streetlights
Think back to the times that we spent outside
With the rats and the ducks in the High Park
Splitting secrets up six ways

We'd lie low beneath the shade of oak trees
Lie low till the sun sets and they can't see
4 for 5 or 6 for 7 did the trick
This was our heaven

The love of times that end too soon
Those were the days we’d break the rules
Take me to holes where we reside
Somewhere along the brighter side

We tied ropes that they can't see
We tied ropes across the street
Given something to break was given something to fix
Without a sense of purpose but a sense of relief

It gets loud at the edge of the world
It gets loud if you're close like a great escape
Taste the air as we start running faster
As fast as my heart beats

The love of times that end too soon
Those were the days we’d break the rules
Take me to holes where we reside
Somewhere along the brighter side

Do you get the rush inside
When you start to feel alive?
On these pure and hopeful nights,
I feel alive

The love of times that end too soon
Those were the days we’d break the rules
Take me to holes where we reside
Somewhere along the brighter side
