Cut those places out
and glue them in
so you can think about
where we've been.

When we walked down
a street covered in trees
and listened to the sound
of hundred thousand bees.

When we could never tell
if the day was night
and the stars were bells
that made the sound of light.

Oh I've taken these memories
and glued them in my mind
so I can take my worries
and leave them behind.
