lyrics

We traced the stars ‘til dawn
truth-or-daring away our heart and our pride
down monkey trails and merry-go-rounds
past the old folks’ home and the magasin général
and chased each other through cedar trees
and made make-believe and shared dreams and enemies
and tested our wits by the fire at night
and around boys we liked
and made a backyard paradise.
So why can’t you follow my dreams
and make me the one who makes you believe in love?
I think we want all the same things;
if you would open your eyes and remember when…
You opened your mouth to share the secrets of you -
there was a time when I was the only one in the room.
And yes, we fought, but we forced ourselves to be kind,
just two silly girls learning how to be human over time.
And now, two empty chairs on a porch in spring
remind me of the days when we had everything.
And now, I see a rose-coloured hope in these things,
though the soft blooms of youth have long withered and changed.
Now the cedar trees have grown in at the knees and beg me to see that
it’s not meant to be - you and me on a porch in spring.
