Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Cartoons on in the background Cereal bowls on the floor Sun through the curtains We never watched the clock before Your stories over the kettle Steam dancing slow in the air I laughed at all the endings Just happy you were there [Chorus] Time flies by like an arrow Straight through all those summers in my mind I keep running back to the shadows On the porch where you were by my side I close my eyes I’m there again Bare feet Grass stains Holding your hand Time flies by like an arrow But you’re still here in my heart’s backyard [Verse 2] Sticker stars on the ceiling You said “Make a wish Then two” I wished I’d never have to Learn a world that missed you Old photos on the table Your handwriting on the back I trace each little letter Like a secret map [Chorus] Time flies by like an arrow Straight through all those summers in my mind I keep running back to the shadows On the porch where you were by my side I close my eyes I’m there again Bare feet Grass stains Holding your hand Time flies by like an arrow But you’re still here in my heart’s backyard [Bridge] Some days I feel grown up Some days I’m still that kid Laughing at every small thing At every silly thing we did (oh) If dreaming is remembering Then I see you so clear Every time I start to miss you You pull me back here [Chorus] Time flies by like an arrow Straight through all those summers in my mind I keep running back to the shadows On the porch where you were by my side I close my eyes I’m there again Bare feet Grass stains Holding your hand Time flies by like an arrow But you’re still here in my heart’s backyard

Verses stay intimate and close-mic’d, chorus widens with stacked harmonies and shimmering bells. Subtle bass movement keeps it dreamy; bridge drops to almost just vocal and guitar before a final, lifted hook., happy
