lyrics

Tell me, what could be, better than
Tell me, what could be, better than this

The woods were large, 1984, back when we could wander unsupervised
Train whistles, candy store, snarky little boy, singin' 50 states, that rhyme we hate.

Run and Play, Run and Play

Tell me, what could be, better than

I wish I could go back and get off at the side
White and purple yellow orange, stringin' 'long the highway
I wish I could push pause and be in mid flight
ultimate relief, ultimate defeat

One mind, one place, one line
Wildfire, Wildflower

Before the day grows short, we're sneakin' off the porch
and by the creek we linger to watch, twisting and turning

As it Runs and Plays, Run and Play
Run and Play, as it Runs and Plays

Tell me, what could be, better than this, better than
