Sights and sounds pull me back down another year
I was here
I was here

Whipping past the reflecting pool
Me and you skipping school

And we make it up as we go along
We make it up as we go along

You said you raced from Langley
Pulling me underneath a cherry blossom canopy
Do I have
Of course I have beneath my raincoat
I have your photograph

And the sun on your face
I'm freezing that frame

And somewhere Alfie cries and says enjoy his every smile
You can see in the dark
Through the eyes of Laura Mars
How did it go so fast you'll say as we are looking back
And then we'll understand we held gold dust in our hands

Sights and sounds pull me back down another year
I was here
I was here

Gaslights glow in the street
Flickering past
Twilight held us in her palm as we walked along

And we make it up as we go along
We make it up as we go along

Letting names hang in the air
What colour hair
Auburn crimson
Autumn knowingly stared
And the day that she came
I'm freezing that frame
I'm freezing that frame

And somewhere Alfie cries and says enjoy his every smile
You can see in the dark
Through the eyes of Laura Mars

How did it go so fast you'll say as we are looking back
And then we'll understand we held gold dust in our hands

In our hands
