We chewed honeysuckle in our fort in the bushes
You taught me how to tie my sneakers at 5 years old
Hunting treasure in the gutters, we’d hide
In the hydrangeas ‘till all of our secrets were told

I broke the windows, and you were the good one
When I’d take all the dares, you knew just when to hide
When the home fires raged, we’d take comfort in each other
Vowing to stay side by side

Remember when summer days lasted forever
Running down hills we could fly
Swinging our legs on those creaky old swings
Kicking a hole in the sky

Saturday afternoons we would sneak into movies
We were blood sisters at sweet 16
When the boys liked you best, I would watch from a distance
But you always came looking for me

We talked about freedom, we talked about the future
We talked from the depths of our young girls’ hearts
I was always a dreamer but you were the smart one
Knowing one day we would part

But remember when summer nights lasted forever
Dreaming so hard, we could die
Swinging our legs from the hood of a mustang
Kicking a hole in the sky

Adventure called you to New York City
The Pacific Ocean called me to stay
And you evolved, oh so strong and pretty
Searching out your reasons
Angels and your demons

You lost yourself to a man from the heartland
And he took you to the country to be his bride
He loved you the best that he could I guess
Was a long, cold rocky ride

Now our voices entwine on the telephone line
Remind us to remember just who we are
All the twists and the turns, what we’ve lost, what we’ve learned
While we’re kicking through to the stars

Now you’re raising your head and I’m raising a daughter
Raising our courage to try
If we trust in our hearts, we’ll find our feet my friend,
Kicking a hole in the sky

Remember when summer days lasted forever
Running down hills we could fly
Swinging our legs from the hood of a mustang
Kicking a hole, kicking a hole, kicking a hole in the sky

Kicking a hole, kicking a hole
Kicking a hole in the sky
