It’s Just a Lunch

[catchy intro] Verse 1: In the glow of a streetlight, I recall, Paper planes in the rain, never cared if they'd fall. Laughing over cold soup, skies so wide, In the playground of youth, where our dreams learned to fly. Pre-Chorus: Now the days rush by in a blur of gray, Searching for colors that faded away. Chorus: It’s just a lunch, but I can’t take a bite, Memories on my plate, under fluorescent light. Where did the flavors of my childhood go? It’s just a lunch, but it feels like more. Verse 2: Office walls close in, ties that bind, Gourmet meals, yet I long for that taste left behind. Echoes of laughter, a distant chime, In the cafeteria line, where joy was mine. Pre-Chorus: Every bite a reminder of what I miss, Savoring the simplicity, the ignorance of bliss. Chorus: It’s just a lunch, but I can’t take a bite, Memories on my plate, under fluorescent light. Where did the flavors of my childhood go? It’s just a lunch, but it feels like more. Bridge: Can I find the recipe, to stir the past, Mix in the joy, make the flavors last? A sprinkle of innocence, a dash of delight, In every lunch, find the appetite. Pre-Chorus: I'll chew on the moments, swallow the sun, Digesting the days when I freely run. A sprinkle of innocence, a dash of delight, In every lunch, find the appetite. Pre-Chorus: I'll chew on the moments, swallow the sun, Digesting the days when I freely run. Chorus: It’s just a lunch, but I can’t take a bite, Memories on my plate, under fluorescent light. Where did the flavors of my childhood go? It’s just a lunch, but it feels like more. It’s just a lunch, but I can’t take a bite, Memories on my plate, under fluorescent light. Where did the flavors of my childhood go? It’s just a lunch, but it feels like more. [ending]
