Skeletons

I won't forget when I couldn't go to bed with the lights off

When I heard that voice call me in for the night

I remember when love was just a word and not a fight

All I had to worry about were broken bones and being left alone

Way back then there were monsters in my closet

And now there's just skeletons hiding in there

The clock is ticking away

The leaves are still falling every day

The sunburn on my shoulders kept me warm back then

Like the heat from the blacktop again and again

I remember when smoke didn't fill my lungs

When my hands were lost and so young

It seemed like the houses were touching the sky

And I thought this smile on my face would never lie

Oh, the summer we were staring at the sun

The summer we were staring at the

Oh, the summer we were staring at the sun

Way back then there were monsters in my closet

And now there's just skeletons hiding in there

The clock is ticking away

The leaves are still falling every day

The sunburn on my shoulders kept me warm back then

Like the heat from the blacktop again and again
