**Lyrics:**
Used to know every crack in the concrete square,
Every secret whisper, every shared scare.
Sun went down, didn't mean we were done,
Streetlights flickered, we'd keep on the run.
Baseball mitts patched with electrician's tape,
Made our own rules, found our escape.
Dirt under fingernails, knees all skinned,
Lost track of time, caught the evening wind.
Chorus:
Yeah, I miss that empty lot
Every whispered promise that we got
Under streetlights buzzin' high
Just watching all the time go by
Now the screens glow late at night
Lost that fading magic light
Remember freedom, raw and true?
Underneath the moon with you.
Found treasures where nobody looked twice,
Broken glass glittered, paid our own price.
Built forts from cardboard, declared them our land,
A sovereign nation, just a small band.
Shared popsicles melting slow in the heat,
Didn't need much to feel complete.
The world was as big as the block we knew,
Adventures waited, always somethin' new.
Chorus:
Yeah, I miss that empty lot
Every whispered promise that we got
Under streetlights buzzin' high
Just watching all the time go by
Now the screens glow late at night
Lost that fading magic light
Remember freedom, raw and true?
Underneath the moon with you.
See the windows glowin' blue and cold,
Stories different than the ones we were told.
Pixels dance where shadows used to creep,
Hard to find the simple, hidden deep.
Maybe it's just the way the world turns 'round,
Lost my footing on familiar ground.
But the echo calls, a whisper in the breeze,
For barefoot wonder and climbable trees.
Chorus:
Yeah, I miss that empty lot
Every whispered promise that we got
Under streetlights buzzin' high
Just watching all the time go by
Now the screens glow late at night
Lost that fading magic light
Remember freedom, raw and true?
Underneath the moon with you.
