**Lyrics:**
(Verse 1)
Walked past the old school gates today
Felt a chill I couldn't shake away
Saw the swing set rusting slow
Remember laughter long ago
Where the grass grew wild and tall
Played until we saw stars fall
(Chorus)
Oh, the ghosts on the sidewalk still linger
Like a half-forgotten song on a finger
We built a kingdom from sidewalk cracks
Now it's just dust on faded tracks
Yeah, the past is a photograph yellowed and worn
A place I can't go back to since I was born
(Verse 2)
Remember scraping knees on pavement heat?
Swearing secrets that we couldn't keep
Trading comics, trading lies
Under endless, endless skies
Shared a soda, warm and flat
Talking about we don't know what
(Chorus)
Oh, the ghosts on the sidewalk still linger
Like a half-forgotten song on a finger
We built a kingdom from sidewalk cracks
Now it's just dust on faded tracks
Yeah, the past is a photograph yellowed and worn
A place I can't go back to since I was born
(Bridge)
Sometimes I hear a voice call out my name
In the wind, sounds almost the same
As the ones who swore we'd never part
Didn't know how time could break a heart
Didn't know we'd drift so far
(Chorus)
Oh, the ghosts on the sidewalk still linger
Like a half-forgotten song on a finger
We built a kingdom from sidewalk cracks
Now it's just dust on faded tracks
Yeah, the past is a photograph yellowed and worn
A place I can't go back to since I was born
(Outro)
Yellowed and worn...
Can't go back...
Echoes...
Just dust...
Summer '09...
Dust on tracks...
