Great Lake Jumper

I had an idea

I thought it was so brilliant

You and me

Leave the treehouse forever

Or maybe just a couple years

If we really want it

Tell me why we can’t have it

If we’re drifting towards it naturally

Then why should we stop it

‘Cause it seems like lately

I’m no longer even thrilled

About biking the same trails

I had a vivid dream

I was breezing past facades

Bright blue waters extending off

To the horizon instead of empty parking lots

I’ve always thought

With every fleeting brief encounter

Gazing up

In spite of the beaming summer sun

What if I belong

Mangled street signs but I still find my way back home

Im staying patient for when next October comes

Finally we’ll be on our own

All on our own

I’ve always thought

Gazing up

I bet I could jump my bike over the lake

If I went fast enough

I had a vivid dream
