Tell your mom you need a day off
so we could play out in the rain
we'll catch a ride to the mall
go down to the arcade
cause that's where all the cool kids hang
Tell your mom you need a day off
cause I don't feel like school today
ride our boards down the hill and
to the playground where everything's okay
Tell your mom that we'll be home late
cause building cabins in the woods is hard work
you always stare while I'm leaving
cause summer time is growing near
my closest friends, they'll always be
you are the only one for me
Tell your mom to make us lunch now
cause we worked up an appetite
GI Joes and karate matches in the backyard
where everything's alright
Now I can see that things have changed
we've gone out seperate ways now
and it's not you and me anymore
Why cant it be the way it was
when we were younger life was good
my closest friends I couldn't see
you are the only one for me
and I guess I'll hold my breath
and I guess I'll hold my breath
