We've splashed in the streams in the canyons nearby Where the walls are so old you can see them bleed time The stream cut the land a gash long and deep And we played in the wound dancing on history But back in the wont I've stayed in time cage Where once every year they shout out my age And there's much talk of work and of money and land But it's useless to me 'cause I've got bigger plans So will you meet me on the bank Of a river that will take us far away We're just two kids playing in the stream And don't worry 'bout the rent We can trust that this current will take us to A land where we'll be our own lords The traps everywhere A ruthless time line And we follow in fear That we might fall behind That we might fall behind But I'm not leaving joy
For the book-ends of life So I'm renouncing my age And I'm going on strike And no age will suffice I'm leaving this behind If prime-time TV and credit card debt If a new auto lease and real estate investments Are all that we have, then we're already dead So let's rob our own graves and sneak out of this pen And there's only one place where we can escape And that's on the run so that's where we'll stay And we'll leave what we own and we'll leave what we know But we'll be together so we'll always be home We'll always be home So will you meet me on the shore Of an ocean to restore us to ourselves We're just two kids playing in the sand We'll build castles to the sky And won't worry 'bout the tide Because we know what we create can not survive
