Please Remember

Please Remember

Verse:
Your idea of a magic trick is me closing my eyes and you leaving the room
I forgot how special childhood was until I found you
We play for hours in the backyard with with your imaginary friend
Oh I never want your innocence to end

Pre-Chorus:
The nightlight gives you a certain path
That will run away, if you're lucky you'll get a map

Chorus:
Please remember your clear mind as a child
How you would run around and just act wild
And please, please don't go down the wrong path in this mixed-up, crazy world
Even though I know I can't always be your favorite girl
And I hope you can figure out how to win this game
But whatever you do, please remember these days

Verse:
You're not afraid of being crazy and loud when other people are around
You got your mother and your father and me, you're always safe and sound
Nothing to lose sleep about, except maybe that broken plastic truck
Up by dawn, laugh all day, then tucked in by dusk

Pre-Chorus:
The floaties keep you from drowning
They will disappear, but don't you dare start frowning

Chorus:
Please remember your clear mind as a child
How you would run around and just act wild
And please, please don't go down the wrong path in this mixed-up, crazy world
Even though I know I can't always be your favorite girl
And I hope you can figure out how to win this game
But whatever you do, please remember these days

Bridge:
When you start to get scars
I mean, real scars
Not the ones on your leg
From falling of a tree
I mean the ones on your heart
When your first love breaks you
Pick up the plastic clarinet
And please remember me
And please remember being free
And please please remember your mommy
And your daddy
And the times when you were always happy

Chorus:
Please remember your clear mind as a child
How you would run around and just act wild
And please, please don't go down the wrong path in this mixed-up, crazy world
Even though I know I can't always be your favorite girl
And I hope you can figure out how to win this game
But whatever you do, please remember me
