lyrics

It's quiet in this house
Not much to talk about
Two people all alone
I'm sure you're making friends
This is where the fun begins
Out there on your own

I keep wishing the dogs would bark
And I'd see you park
In front of the house
Plop down on the couch
And tell us about your day

There's nothing to do about a change of season
Ain't no reason
To try to hold back time
One day I put you down
And it never crossed my mind
That it was the last time

Take some corners on two wheels
Try it all, see how it feels
Get every answer you can find
Break some hearts if you have to
But know they're gonna break yours, too
So always be kind

We're always waiting for what's next
And the net effect
Is that we miss what's happening now
Can't go back anyhow
And change a single thing

There's nothing to do about a change of season
Ain't no reason
To try to hold back time
One day I put you down
And it never crossed my mind
That it was the last time

There's nothing to do about a change of season
Ain't no reason
When it's your time to shine
'Cause when you finally get to fly
The last thing on your mind
Is the nest you left behind
