We shared a yard with a swing and a slide
We built a fort where the summer was wide
The storms came through and the wood got gray
We both moved on, no one had to say
You took the high road, I took the low
We didn't need a reason, it was time to go
No one slammed the door, no one threw a stone
The seasons turned over and we both had grown
The clock on the wall still ticks away
The hands move on, they don't delay
No one is wrong, it's just the years
That softened the storms and dried the tears
The clock on the wall still ticks away
The hands move on, they don't delay
No one is wrong, we both can say
We live a little lighter, day by day
You took the high road, I took the low
We didn't need a reason, it was time to go
No one slammed the door, no one threw a stone
The seasons turned over and we both had grown
The clock on the wall still ticks away
The hands move on, they don't delay
No one is wrong, it's just the years
That softened the storms and dried the tears
The clock on the wall still ticks away
The hands move on, they don't delay
No one is wrong, we both can say
We live a little lighter, day by day
