they're raising up the porch today
the city's familiar shade of grey
when light is right it looks silver
but only lasts till we shiver
our gazing spot will fall
with 2X4's
and all the neighborhood will watch
but they don't even know our names
and we'll be gone as fast as we can walk
i'll count the steps it takes
to get to where i know
and i know how long
it takes but can you tell
me where?
well city lights that we'll
ring through
it's giving us a brand new view
but i can't see the squirrels
i knew by name
and i'll count the steps it takes
to get to where i know
and i know how long
it takes but can you tell
me where?
