So we can play out in the rain

We'll catch a ride to the mall

Cuz that's where all t

 he cool kids hang

Tell your mom you

 need a day off

Cuz I don't feel

 like school today

We'll ride our

 boards down the hill

 And to the playground

 Where everything's okay

Tell your mom that

 we'll be home late

Cuz building cabins in

 the woods is hard work

 You are a home

 town kid like me

Tell your mom

 to make us lunch now

Cuz we worked

 up an appetite

G.I. Joes and Karate

things have changed

We've gone our

 seperate ways now

And it's not you

 and me anymore whoa

Why can't it be

 the way it was

Where pain was

only plastic guns

 My closest friend

 I couldn't see

 You are a million miles away

And I guess I'll

 hold my breath

There is no harm

in hoping for change

 And I guess I'll

 hold my breath

There is no harm

in hoping for change

There is no harm

in hoping for change

 And I guess I'll

 hold my breath
