Brooklyn seemed bigger than it was
Just like the amusement park
Fifteen minutes from my house
Where I splashed in the tide pool
While my parents took photos
At every age we’re small but
Don’t know it until we’re on a hunt
Arm in arm with a very best friend
We won’t speak to within five years
Trying to locate the party
Wherever it is, whatever it’s for
And whoever the heck is hosting
All we have absorbed is
It’s imperative that we attend
So! They always say places from childhood feel smaller now because we were literally smaller bodies back then! But why do places from a decade ago feel that way too? If we’re still growing we must be so enormous now!
