Preschool

Luke Walton · Just A Friend · 2006 · From Goodbye/Hello, Just A Friend, The Other Side

Young love as grade-school mismatch: preschool compared to you; one yawn and the older romance is gone.

First on Just A Friend (2006, track 4). Preschool lyrics archive. Later: The Other Side (2009, Luke Walton feat. Blue Suburbia, opening track) · Preschool single (2009) · Charitable Chords comp (June 2010, billed Luke Walton feat. Blue Suburbia) · Goodbye/Hello (2010, track 10).

The metaphor is age-gap innocence: I’m in preschool compared to you / and I just learned how to tie my shoes. The kiss heals blindness; the exit is trivial: one day I made you yawn: and permanent: preschool is left far behind / you broke the sands of time.

Lyrics

I sat quiet on the floor,
Till you came through the classroom door,
And took my hand and lead me out to play.

We ran past my old playground,
So caught up in this game we found,
I couldn't catch my world fade away.

I'm in preschool compared to you,
And I just learned how to tie my shoes,
And I'm sitting on the purlieu of this life.

When you put your lips on mine,
My eyes were healed from being blind.
You trapped my heart inside your silky kiss.

But one day I made you yawn,
And as quick as you came you were gone.
I shoulda know that it would come to this.

Cause I'm in preschool compared to you,
And I just learned how to tie my shoes,
And I'm sitting on the purlieu of this life.

Preschool is left far behind,
You broke the sands of time.
And I can never go back.

I'm in preschool compared to you,
And I just learned how to tie my shoes,
And I'm sitting on the purlieu of this life.

I'm in preschool compared to you,
And I just learned how to tie my shoes,
And I'm sitting on the purlieu of this life.
