The Walk
Dear Dear Lyrics

Walking down a country road.
Beginning a journey along a peaceful path outside of the city.

Picking up a pebble and throw.
Casting aside distractions and moving forward.

You're finally moving.
Making progress towards a desired destination.

Basketball killed your sentiment.
A past experience with a sport caused a loss of emotional attachment.

I'll race you there and say I never went.
A challenge to race towards a goal in a new way.

Bigger than what it wanted to be.
A larger outcome than initially expected or planned.

Those pebbles sure could help things seem.
Small details can make a big difference in perception and progress.

Like you're finally moving.
Feeling the momentum of progression after initial struggles.

Fireflies always bring a smile.
The simple joys in life can bring happiness.

But you're gifted it's an honor child.
Acknowledgment of one's abilities and potential.

Potential to run the fastest mile.
Recognizing one's talent for achieving success.

But you're tired of running fast so you'd rather walk.
Wishing for a slower pace and appreciating the journey more than just reaching the destination quickly.

Open up a box of cracker jacks.
Relishing in the pleasure of simple surprises.

You know that toy surprise has really made your day.
Understanding the happiness that even small gifts can bring.

Yeah you opened up a box of cracker jacks.
Reiterating the joy and simplicity found in small surprises.

Thank you my very simple boy.
Expressing gratitude towards someone who appreciates the simple things in life.

Yes I've seen you fly your kite and now I'm walking too.
Participating in the same activity as someone else who appreciates simplicity and joy.

For all the boys.
Sending a message to all young men.

For all the girls.
Sending a message to all young women.

Simple's walking away.
Choosing to live a simpler and more fulfilling lifestyle.
