Three Doors Down (Demo)

I knew a boy who lived only three doors down
I used to sit by my window, watch him skate around
The corner making figures of eights around the traffic cones
Bought myself a pair of skates, so he wouldn't be alone
This boy and I became the best of friends
Next day, I brought him inside and opened up the fridge
Coke or Pepsi?
Anything that you need
Honestly, it's quite refreshing just to have you next to me

Fast forward, feel the autumn breeze
We are the mischievous kids dancing out in the streets
And I'm in his sweater
Never felt better
In the light of the stars, I could stay here forever

I knew a boy whose smile was a mile wide
He dropped his friends and came running to be by my side
And I was desperately trying to hide my scarlet cheeks
As I stumbled on the words I'd been planning out for weeks
(I told him)
This Friday night, I kinda thought it might be cool
If maybe you and I would wanna hang out after school
See a movie?
He said he's busy
He'll get back to me
Sometime this week

Fast forward four years, we're seventeen
He is the envy of all
Dancing with the prom queen
And I'm in the corner
Dying of boredom
Catching light from the shine
Of his girlfriend's tiara
But beauty fades and charm is deceit
One day, he'll look back and realize it was me who
Put Band-Aids on his scraped knees and flesh wounds
Shared slurpees and grape juice
Told all his secrets to

I knew a boy who lived only three doors down
We used to race through the streets of this little town
But now we're only racing apart
It's only breaking my heart
Can we take it back to the start?
