Dreamsicle

I guess we're leaving town again

We're moving out and moving in

Gotta break the news to all my friends

But they won't care

They'll just find another face

To fall behind, to take my place

To run way out past second base

And just stand there

A dreamsicle on a summer night in a folding lawn chair

A witch's ring around the moon, better get home soon

Poison oak and poison ivy

Dirty jokes that blew right by me

Mama curling up beside me

Crying to herself

Why can't daddy just come home?

Forget whatever he did wrong

He's in a hotel all alone

And we need help

A dreamsicle on a summer night in a folding lawn chair

I'm still packing up my room gotta get home soon

New sneakers on the high school court

And you swore you'd be there

A heart breaking through the springtime

Breaking into June

Broken glass and broken vows

I'll be 18 four years from now

With different friends in a different town

I'll finally be free

Call you both some holiday

Tell you why I moved away

Say everything's gonna be okay

You can come see me

A dreamsicle on a summer night in a folding lawn chair

Your daddy's howling at the moon better get home soon

Heat lightning in the evening sky and my mama's red hair

Hearts breaking through the springtime breaking into June

Breaking into June

Breaking into June
