Tell your mom you need a day off
so we can play out in the rain
we'll catch a ride to the mall

go down to the arcarde
cause that's where all the cool kids play


tell your mom you need a day off
cause I dont feel like school today
we'll ride our boards down the hill

and to the playground
where everythings ok


tell your mom we will be home late
cause building cabins in the woods is hard work


you always know that I'll be there
Cause I'm the type, and you'll be near
my closest friend, we'll always be

You are a hometown kid like me

Tell your mom to make us lunch now

cause we worked up an appetite
G.I. Joes and karate matches in the back yard
where everything's alright


now I can see that things have changed
we've gone our seperate ways now


and it's not you and me
anymore, whoa...


why can't it be the way it was
when they were us...

my closest friends have turned and fled
you are a million miles away


and I guess I'll hold my breath
(there is no harm for hoping for change)
and I guess I'll hold my breath

(there is no harm in hoping for change)
and I guess I'll hold my Breath
(there is no harm in hoping for change)

And I guess I'll hold my breath...
