[Verse 1]
Backyard frame in spring
Blue mesh, sunlit seams
I knew my whole world
By the sound of that spring
Bare feet on the edge
Holding my breath in place
Then you counted me in
And the sky changed shape
[Pre-Chorus]
One bounce, then two
My knees forgot the ground
Your hand on the rail
My laugh came out loud
[Chorus]
Up on the trampoline
Up on the trampoline
We were all knees and wind
Up on the trampoline
Up on the trampoline
Up on the trampoline
Nothing stayed too long
Nothing held us down
[Verse 2]
Old T-shirt, scraped shin
Spun till I saw stars
Late summer rain
Tapped soft on the yard
We learned the tiny tricks
How to tuck, how to turn
How to land like a cat
How to rise, how to learn
[Pre-Chorus]
One more spin
Then the whole yard bends
Heart in my throat
And I do it again
[Chorus]
Up on the trampoline
Up on the trampoline
We were all knees and wind
Up on the trampoline
Up on the trampoline
Up on the trampoline
Nothing stayed too long
Nothing held us down
[Bridge]
Now the frame sits still
By the fence and the gate
But I still feel that lift
In the bones of my day
I outgrew my shoes
Outgrew the fall
But a part of me
Still wants it all
[Final Chorus]
Up on the trampoline
Up on the trampoline
We were all knees and wind
Up on the trampoline
Up on the trampoline
Up on the trampoline
I still reach for the air
Like I did back then
