[male
vocals] (
Slow,
steady
heartbeat-like
kick
drum) (
Soft
strumming
of
a
sun-drenched
guitar)
Yeah
From
the
playground
to
the
altar
of
our
dreams
It's
a
long
road
to
walk
alone
We
were
just
children
playing
in
the
summer
dust
Tracing
our
initials
in
the
sand
with
so
much
trust
You
were
my
heartbeat
when
the
school
bell
rang
In
every
melody
of
the
songs
we
sang
We
promised
forever
under
the
old
oak
tree
You
were
the
only
world
that
I
could
ever
see
But
shadows
grow
longer
as
the
sun
begins
to
fade
Now
I'm
counting
the
price
of
the
promises
we
made
Oh,
childhood
love,
you're
slipping
through
my
hands
Like
water
turning
into
desert
sands
We
built
a
kingdom
out
of
make-believe
Now
I'm
the
one
who's
forced
to
leave
It's
a
heartbreak
rhythm,
a
heavy
kind
of
sound
Watching
everything
we
built
come
crashing
to
the
ground
I
remember
the
scraped
knees
and
the
secret
notes
The
way
we
wore
our
hearts
like
heavy
winter
coats
We
thought
we
knew
the
ending
before
we
read
the
book
But
life
has
a
way
of
stealing
every
look
Now
there's
a
silence
where
your
laughter
used
to
bloom
A
hollow
space
that's
echoing
inside
this
room
I
look
at
the
photos,
I
look
at
the
graying
sky
Trying
to
find
the
reason
for
this
long
goodbye
Oh,
childhood
love,
you're
slipping
through
my
hands
Like
water
turning
into
desert
sands
We
built
a
kingdom
out
of
make-believe
Now
I'm
the
one
who's
forced
to
leave
It's
a
heartbreak
rhythm,
a
heavy
kind
of
sound
Watching
everything
we
built
come
crashing
to
the
ground
They
say
that
time
is
the
healer
of
the
pain
But
how
can
I
dance
when
I'm
standing
in
the
rain?
Every
street
corner
holds
a
ghost
of
you
and
me
Locked
in
a
moment
that
we'll
never
live
to
see (
Melodic,
bluesy,
weeping
guitar
lines)
Oh,
childhood
love,
you're
slipping
through
my
hands
Like
water
turning
into
desert
sands
We
built
a
kingdom
out
of
make-believe
Now
I'm
the
one
who's
forced
to
leave
It's
a
heartbreak
rhythm,
a
heavy
kind
of
sound
Watching
everything
we
built
come
crashing
to
the
ground
Goodbye
to
the
playground
Goodbye
to
the
dreams
It’
s
not
what
it
was
It’
s
not
what
it
seems
Just
a
memory
now
Just
a
memory
now (
Fade
out
with
guitar
resonance)
