Текст песни

[Verse 1] Plastic ring from a cracker box Grass stains on my only jeans Grandma yelling that the soup gets cold While we chase late summer dreams Chalk dust all over my hands Crooked house we tried to draw Fireflies in a rescued jar Sneaking back in after dark [Chorus] Take me back to the courtyard To the swing with the rusted chain To the bruises on my bare knees To the sudden summer rain I was small and the world was endless Nothing hurt for more than a day Take me back to that crooked sunlight Before it all slipped away [Verse 2] Cartoons humming on Sunday nights Homework lost in pillow forts Dad asleep with the TV on Mom still fixing broken doors Secret codes in our school notebooks Trading stickers on the bus Thought the biggest kind of heartbreak Was when you couldn’t sit with us [Chorus] Take me back to the courtyard To the swing with the rusted chain To the bruises on my bare knees To the sudden summer rain I was small and the world was endless Nothing hurt for more than a day Take me back to that crooked sunlight Before it all slipped away [Bridge] I keep those snapshots in my mind (oh) Edges bent But colors bright Every laugh a little lighthouse Blinking softly through the night [Chorus] Take me back to the courtyard To the swing with the rusted chain To the bruises on my bare knees To the sudden summer rain I was small and the world was endless Didn’t know what I would trade To return to that crooked sunlight Before it all slipped away
