Hide`n`seek at the backyard
Before our lips were taught how to smile politely
Drawing maps for midnight treasure hunting
Only to fall asleep before even the sun is down
Riding bikes to the lakes
Searching for new adventures every day
The sea, the mountains and the stars
Never scared of the wind and falling down
Making unexpectedly sharp turns
Crying over bleeding knee after fall
Improvising the back story of how we get here to our moms
Sipping tea, while they joke that
We are now the real pirates
Though without the ship
But that`s just for now
Dreaming without second guessing
Believing the world is made for us to fly
Before cutting our wings off
We were showing off our newest scars
Sitting under the big old tree
Laughing about all the mistakes
And swearing we will make them again
And will never leave each other\'s side
Now I`m sitting at the airport lounge
Counting money, long forgotten of the risks we chased before
I catch sight of the stranger\'s face that is buried in the phone
reminding me of children we were once before
If I could add to their eyes some stars and
subtract so many years of sleepless nights
Could I have recognized you then?
We swore that day to always stay the same
Guess we both made a promise that we had no chance to keep
