Rubber Legs Lyrics - Singles - Mineral

i remember little town and the big gray house 

with the burgundy door the lawn shaped like a boot 

and the boy who liked pretending that the island in the middle was a shore 

time is a clock ticking 

it stops my heart to think of it 

i remember the magic in your eyes 

i'd stare at them and you'd say the silliest things like 

"christopher i'm crazy about you" 

and "matthew i love you monstrously" 

and it's my favorite time of year 

how i wish that you were here 

(or how i wish that i could be there) 

to watch the lights blink on the tree 

give thanks to god for everything and lay down all my fears 

and it's too late to call you on the phone 

and tell you that your boy is all alone tonight 

but i will never forget 

how you taught me to stand on these rubber legs and fight
