When
the tide
gets too high
And you're stuck there
And the colors start to blend together
Don't start
begging to leave Stay for as long as you need
And you're dying to live past seventeen Try to remember your mom
And what she's longed to When you're gone
Listen to the birds Singing still
the same
And the videotapes They come back home when it's warmer
And do not be ashamed When things change
You're just seeing what the world has to offer
Try to listen to it all
When your room hasn't changed since November
And you're trying to get out of the blue
I loved everything I possibly could I loved everything I possibly can
