I once knew a girl
whose name I had not heard before
I was once a child
I haven't been that way in a while
and I think of you
and all the things that we used to do
together in the past,
but now I'm having trouble finding my way back
to where we stood by the water
it's not much farther, it's not much farther...
than climbing trees and bridges of sand
maps that we drew on the backs of our hands
we follow what's said and done
I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid of anyone
as long as we're by the water
it's so much harder, it's so much harder
to hear now that you're gone
when we were a part of everyone
and now, I have to go
I cannot stay here anymore
but my heart will remain by the water
it's so much lighter, it's so much lighter
than it was, and now I'm here
I'm still a girl whose name I've heard before
in my life
and now I'm just trying
to get it right
