Lauren – Lyrics

swimming through the cold sky blue lake
living every moment like it’s not a mistake
mini golfing on that cool August night
I play those moments all the time
strolling through Disneyland, best night yet
running around, I could never forget
Mickey Mouse ears and two hours in a line
we swore we’d be best friends until we die

take a step forward
don’t look back
I swear I’ll be there even in the vast darkness
if you’re feeling helpless
always look up
never down
reach for the sky
not the ground
and if you feel the earth burning down
think back to these moments, they’re all around

got fake piercings in 7th grade
parents lost their mind
said we’d made a mistake
we ran up to your room and just laughed
cause they just about had a heart attack
football games and tailgates
hopping the fences
and playing soccer out late
but we didn’t know how to play the game
it lasted until you kicked me in the face

take a step forward
don’t look back
I swear I’ll be there even in your darkest moments
the ones you wish you’d forget
always look up
never down
reach for the sky
forget the ground
and if the rain falls so hard it doesn’t make a sound
think back to these moments
they’re all around

one of these days I’ll knock on your door
will have been a long time since we’d stood on the same floor
we’ll be grown and have children of our own
and we’ll take’em out there to swim in the lake
then go to Disneyland
and stand there and wait

take a step forward
don’t turn your back
I promise I’ll be there
even when the world stands still
when you’ve had your fill
always look up
never down
soar through the sky
don’t let your wings touch the ground
and when you find the kingdom beyond the sun and the clouds
think back to these moments
they’re all around
think back to these moments
they’re all around
