These streets are paved in chalk
I know they're always there
A child took daddy's hand
I hit daddy's head
Mowed the grass and the sweeter smell
Empty shops where I hammered all the penny tubes
I thought that they would always be there
I know that you would always be there
Some buildings have a presence
Even when they're knocked down
But I can follow the moonlight on the broken bricks and walls
Castle on the hill, the waterfall
And the greatest thing is we haunt the sun
And they held the sun for a while
And the purest day when I couldn't speak
'Cause I caught it in your eyes
And we're holding on, we're holding on
Candy floss skies and mirror-ball stars
The first glimmer of Christmas lights, oh-oh
We hit the town with a flash in our eyes
In the town where we drank so many times
How we feel when the years they change us
When it hurts just to leave your age
Our hearts, we were ordinary
We were special together
And the greatest thing is we haunt the sun
And they held the sun for a while
And the purest day when I couldn't speak
'Cause I caught it in your eyes
And nothing lasts forever
But forever starts today
And we're all in this together
Together on our way
And we're holding on, we're holding on
