Taking bikes down double dips Double scoops on sugar cones You were almost like a brother Running down the cobblestones Your sister's spindled 45's Of the partridge family Your hot wheels spinning off the track You were older than me It was always fun at your house Running to your room upstairs While our mothers sat and talked In your orange velvet chairs Frozen milky ways By the high diving board In church we laughed at messed up zippers When the praying made us bored We shared a love for music And the beatles as we grew And the songs we wrote together Proved my blood ran into you Oh we bounced off of the beds And slid like batman down the stairs While our mothers sat and talked In your orange velvet chairs We're only blessed with One childhood One childhood Then we grow and break off shares Cause this was mine, but that was theirs (one childhood) Slowly learn that no one cares We lose our hope before our hairs (one childhood) And we say, oh look i lasted 'til another december And more than that, dear I can still remember Orange velvet chairs
