Lyrics
Can you meet me at the park after dinner time
Proposal to meet at the park after dinner for a reunion
You can ride your Schwinn bicycle and I'll take mine
Suggesting a nostalgic bike ride together
We can make up for years of missing
Opportunity to make up for lost time and reconnect
Birthday parties, fights, first-kissing
Reflecting on missed events like birthdays, fights, and first kisses
I'll think of some things that we could do
Contemplating activities to enjoy during the reunion
And maybe we can swim through the water
Suggesting a metaphorical swim through memories
Love one another
Encouraging love and emotional connection
Laugh till our lips turn blue
Expressing the desire to laugh and enjoy each other's company
We'll be just like mothers and fathers
Aspiring to emulate the bond of mothers and fathers
Sisters and brothers
Desiring a relationship like sisters and brothers
We'll invent something new
Expressing a wish to create something new together
And I know your laces are tied
Acknowledging awareness of practical issues like tied laces
And there's holes in all your shoes
Noting the imperfections, like holes in shoes
But it's good for my sole to be with you
Stating the emotional benefit of being together despite imperfections
You don't look like the kid I used to know
Observing changes in appearance over time
With missing teeth and a bloody, stuffy nose
Recalling memories of childhood incidents
I miss when we were dumb and lazy
Nostalgically missing carefree and lazy moments
Those memories are getting hazy
Admitting that memories are becoming unclear
Won't you come and make one more with me
Inviting the creation of new memories
And maybe we can swim through the water
Repeating the metaphor of swimming through memories
Love one another
Reiterating the importance of love and connection
Laugh till our lips turn blue
Emphasizing the joy of laughter
We'll be just like mothers and fathers
Desiring a relationship akin to parental figures
Sisters and brothers
Aspiring for a bond like siblings
We'll invent something new
Expressing a wish to create something innovative together
And I know your laces are tied
Reiterating awareness of practical issues with tied laces
And there's holes in all your shoes
Reiterating awareness of imperfections, such as shoe holes
But it's good for my sole to be with you
Reaffirming the emotional benefit of being together despite flaws
Getting older we're both strangers
Reflecting on the challenges and unfamiliarity of aging
Facing unexpected dangers
Acknowledging unexpected difficulties
Maybe I don't know you anymore
Expressing uncertainty about the current knowledge of the other person
But if somehow you remember
Hoping for shared memories from a specific time
Those late 2000's Septembers
Recalling past Septembers spent together
Sitting by the fire to stay warm
Remembering cozy moments by the fire
Maybe we can swim through the water
Repeating the metaphor of swimming through memories
Love one another
Reiterating the importance of love and connection
Laugh till our lips turn blue
Emphasizing the joy of laughter
We'll be just like mothers and fathers
Desiring a relationship akin to parental figures
Sisters and brothers
Aspiring for a bond like siblings
We'll invent something new
Expressing a wish to create something innovative together
And I know your laces are tied
Reiterating awareness of practical issues with tied laces
And there's holes in all your shoes
Reiterating awareness of imperfections, such as shoe holes
But it's good for my sole to think of you
Reaffirming the emotional benefit of thinking about the other person
