Summertime and we’re in the backyard
Making up daisy chains and paper dolls
Tommy’s going to be a spaceman when he gets old
Jenny laughs, she’s only one step away from the screen

you know I’m laughing
I try to keep it light
You know I’m working
Into this cold and cradled night
And all through the morning under these fluorescent lights
When I want to be

CHORUS:
Out in the open under the white sky
Walking the day away
I want to be out in the open under the white sky
Welcome the day

Chinese whispers
One too many open ears
Skipping over shadows
One two three home
Jenny made a wish and she blew it away
Tommy’s only one breath away from a scream

You know I’m holding on
I give what I can take
You know I’m older now
My hands are tied and my back will break
Under the strain of all I’ll have, only if I wait
Still I want to be…

CHORUS

And in the sun, a trail of tears
Left for someone, fallen from here

Breathe in, be still
There’s nothing left in here
Lift your eyes and take it all
Do you remember what you wanted when you blew it away?
Live again
Be still
Take it all in
