Boyhood (Apple Music Sessions)

With my brother in the woods on a hot July day

We got lost, on second thought, we never knew the way

Mama said go play outside, 'cause suppers ready soon

We caught bugs, found rocks, and thought we might find the moon

I saw a creek that was 10 years wide and hoped to cross it soon

And now I did now we're not kids, and I think I wished too soon

Now, my brother climbed a tree and yelled I ain't comin' down

When I tried to, my foot slipped a groove, and I fell on the ground

I got back and brushed it off

It really wasn't all that bad

And I swear, falling through the air was the most fun I ever had

Daddy, won't you come outside? I feel lost today

He said, 'Son, yeah, you ain't done, just look how far you came'

You know that creek beyond the pines?

I've crossed it many times

And you will, too, all you gotta do is give it some time

And when I'm done, you'll teach your son how to swim it straight

Just find love inside your heart you'll never float away

Never float away
