Summer Days for Runaways

really random. tell me if it makes sense

Summer days for runaways

walkin' round the alleyways

Hangin' round after dark

benchin' at the local parks

Tryin to find a place to stay

Battin' eyelashes to get our way

 

What's our future, we don't know

We're livin' in the moment, don't y'know?

We're not thinkin' past today

We just wanna hang and play

 

Summer days for runaways

Don't care what you gotta say

Smokin' ciggies from the street

Not sure when we're gunna eat

But we're lookin' pretty fly

Combat boots knee high

Wonderin' every day or night

whether we will live or die

 

What's our future, we don't know

We're livin' in the moment, don't y'know?

We're not thinkin' past today

We just wanna hang and play

 

Summer days for runaways

Don't know if we're here to stay

Ma and dad don't really care

if we're gone or if we're there

So in the summer we are gone

Panhandling the day long

Better than our life at home

So the streets we chose to rome

Free spirits! Never weighed down by the troubles of everyday life. The nonconformists. Always living life to the full:)

I once had that summer days too. It makes sense.

Yes, it makes sense. It's nothing new, but makes good sense. I see teenagers in the prime of and back half of youth living fearlessly hustle to hustle....much like the youth I knew years ago. Such fearlessness would likely scare me to death now, but I do remember. Cherish these years because they slip fast away. Learn learn learn and if you have a second...be careful :) Good piece. Keep it up.

this make sense. u just painted a picture of the mind of a runaways. i see them all over in NY and I wonder what goes through their minds.

So in the summer we are gone

Panhandling the day long

Better than our life at home

So the streets we chose to rome
