while away

when it's summer and you can't escape the heat

and the fire hydrant is our one relief

that's how we while away our days

we'd while away our days on my street

and the call it out

gotta get back home to eat

gotta make it quick

'cause i got friends to meet

that's how we'd while away our days

yeah

we'd while away our days on my street

and we all came runnin'

yeah

we all came runnin' down

yeah

we all

yeah

we all were young and free

while we'd while away our days on my street

yeah

we'd while away our days on my street

got the boom box blastin' out a hip-hop beat

her name is betty

and she's a young girl

meryl streep

it was just like yesterday when she took my breath away

i think about how easy it all seemed to be

complicated was a part of our belief

while we'd while away our days

yeah

we'd while away our days on my street

and we all came runnin'

yeah

we all came runnin' down

yeah

we all

yeah

we all were young and free

while we'd while away our days on my street

yeah

we'd while away our days on my street

i don't think it ever rained

didn't know how much my life would change

now is all we cared about

yeah

we were young and free

while we'd while away our days on my street

and we all came runnin'

yeah

we all came runnin' down

yeah

we all

yeah

we all were young and free

while we'd while away our days

and we all came runnin'

yeah

we all came runnin' down

yeah

we all

yeah

we all were young and free

while we'd while away our days on my street

where we'd while away our days on my street
