Neighborhood

by: Aidan Hawken

You don't talk too much
We don't understand why you
Are facing towards the sun
Take your photograph come on
Picture all of us have gone
And underneath the sun
Don't you tell them
Don't you tell me
I know, I know
You're already gone
Honey, I know. I know
You're already gone
You don't look too much
You don't cause us such a scene
We understand what you mean
Come on take your neighborhood
All you misunderstood, and
walk towards the sun
Don't you tell them
Don't you tell me
I know. I know.
You're already gone
Honey, I-I know. I know.
