Your close friends become stranger,
Lollipops turn into cigarettes,
Soda becomes vodka,
Kisses turn into sex.
Remember when getting high meant swinging on the playground?
When protection meant wearing a helmet?
When the worst thing you could get from boys were cooties?
Dads shoulders were the highest place on earth?
And when mom was your hero?
Your worst enemies were your siblings,
Race issues were about who ran the fastest,
The only drug you knew was cough medicine,
Wearing a skirt didnt make you a slut,
The only thing that hurt you were skinned knees,
And goodbyes only meant untill tomorrow?
