Do you remember us together, growing up on Ohio plains?
Those days are over, now we’re older, but things don’t ever have to change
’96, no neighbor kids to reenact those summer games
So we made good with brotherhood and a two-man relay race
Not twins, but close, with hand-me-down clothes, and the bowl cuts Mother gave
Like blackberries that stained our jeans, those memories never fade
Public pools and nighttime lulls mixed with the smell right after rain
And that lightning bug emotion that I still can never name
Backyard camping, telling ghost stories to keep ourselves awake
And we begged on grass-stained knees, “Please, Summer, stay another day.”
Do you remember us together, growing up on Ohio plains?
Those days are over, now we’re older, but things don’t ever have to change
That lightning bug emotion can still come another way
Those memories give more meaning to who we are today
