For what it's worth, these aren't the entire lyircs to this song. "Unfinished", if you will. On the Crank! website there is a whole other few sentences.. I'm really upset that these never made it to the final version of the song, as they are absolutely beautiful and add so much more to the whole "golden age" theme that seems so ever-present in Mineral's lyrics. Anyway, here it is, make what you want of it:
and there I was at fourteen - spinning with my arms out like a scarecrow; walking down monroe to the park, and dancing up madison. With my eyes closed, your feet sounded like a symphony of strings (you picked me up, and whispered: "forever", like a secret in my ear). to smile (like it caused the grass to bend). the warm wind and these memories are gifts that I could never comprehend. i died that day. but something was born inside of me that I cannot explain away.
