lyrics

I’m thinkin ‘bout those kids
I’m thinkin ‘bout those kids
back in ‘99
The gas leakin’ in the creek
A firecracker then a spark
And in a moment they were

Gone, gone

Our house was shaken by the blast
Black smoke billowing off the landscape
Sirens crying through the streets
With choppers hovering like vultures above a meal

They were gone, gone

In the waters where we used to swim
Where we thought we would be young forever
The beads that glistened on your sunburnt skin
Evaporated in the flames and embers

I’m thinkin ‘bout those kids
I’m thinkin ‘bout those kids
back in ‘99
And wonder who they woulda been
For not a spark and a flash and the moment they were

Gone, gone.
