Tapestry - Back To The Basement lyrics

Carry me back to fire pit days, then down to the basement getaway Where we'd spill it all out, and wear our shapes in the couch Then happiness came in simpler ways Tomorrow's looks just like yesterday's Like a seat in the yard blowing smoke or a car wearing tracks into the loop Feels like a dream that ended too soon Back then each worry fell like a seashell from a seagull in the parking lot All the crushed clam remains coating the pavement brushed away As we hopped on a bike, carved through the town, wove a tapestry made From "now and nows" We'd just float and laze away, get rich off stands of lemonade someday far far away But for now I think I'll stay here Then all of the shells began to poke through I cursed what I knew I had to do Put the back pack away and get to turning the page Cause I couldn't deny the presence of sun The whistle has blown, the games begun And out the window again, the bare raspberry skeletons like a fingerprint of time I had flushed her out of my mind Show me the path to the fountain It's overgrown in my mind And though we savored each drop I think we thought we would return to it in time Well it's time
