[Verse]
Down by the creek with mud-stained toes
Collecting treasures where the tall grass grows
Bottle caps and stones were our souvenirs
Laughter echoed loud where no one hears
[Verse 2]
Shoes on our feet but dirt in our soul
Dreams were small but they made us whole
Trading the woods for the mall's bright glare
Sneaking out at night like we didn't care
[Chorus]
Life's running wild like a river bends
We grow up quick but the stream never ends
Holding the pros with the weight of the cons
Every page turns but the melody hums on
[Bridge]
Now the walls close in on this rented space
Counting pennies in a crowded rat race
The laughter fades like a far-off tide
Dreams feel brittle but I still confide
[Verse 3]
The creek still whispers if I close my eyes
Sweaty
Reckless nights under darkened skies
From dirt to concrete the rush never slows
But in the stillness the memory glows
[Chorus]
Life's running wild like a river bends
We grow up quick but the stream never ends
Holding the pros with the weight of the cons
Every page turns but the melody hums on
