Days We Lost

July was endless, we had time to spend

Chasing the sun down by the river bend

But August came like a sudden cold snap

Folding up childhood like a paper map

And now my school shoes feel too tight

Staying up late under bedroom light

Thinking about who I'm supposed to be

It happened in three short weeks,

they say

All of my magic just faded away

Now I'm standing in a brand new skin

Where do the days of the wild things end?

(where did they go?)

Packed up the old toys in a cardboard box

Changing my wardrobe, changing my locks

Nobody warned me it would hurt this fast

No slow transition, just a sudden blast

We grew up in a heartbeat

Walking down the same old street

But everything looks smaller now

Yeah, everything looks smaller now (ahhh)

It happened in three short weeks,

they say

All of my magic just faded away

Now I'm standing in a brand new skin

Where do the days of the wild things end?

(where did they go?)

Three short weeks... And the summer is gone. (hummmm)
