ghostin'

we wait for those little things

the little things that make the big things seem far away

far away and less mean

i think life is mean and i don't care if i sound like a whiney brat

life is that bully on the playground everyone tries to avoid at one point

she runs the playground but there is one place that's safe

the bully won't go near the swingset, she's too scared to swing

she's all bark and no bite

if i can just get to the swingset, i'm safe

it's nice to swing alone 

but i like when that girl, who's also scared of the bully, swings next me

we just swing higher and higher together

wanting and hoping the sky will open up and suck us in

but we know we'll swing back down to the ground eventually

but it's those little things,

like thinking you can escape into the sky,

that makes the dangerous journey to the swingset worth it
