Beaver Pond Forest Video (MV)

When the movie stopped, we took a walk
Into the woods behind the cinema
You touched my mouth, those words came out
You held me so tight you bruised my fibula

The trees in that spot where my cherry popped
Were all removed like they were eczema
Now those parking lots where Beaver Pond was bought
Flush out my memories like you never saw

Meet me at the pond
Meet me at the pond

As soon as school was out, we'd bike to Beaver Pond
Hidden from our parents and our teachers
There we'd talk of life, and the bands we liked
Blissfully untold of the future

Sometimes the kids would smoke
Sometimes the kids hooked up
We all grew up inside these woods
One day when we returned, it was all blocked off
With the ashphalt burying our childhood

Meet me at the pond
Meet me at the pond

Coyotes and the deer
The beavers and the pond
Bulldozers came
Now my playmates are gone

I've watched these neighbourhoods
Swell up like a blob from a horror film eating everyone
All i want to know is where your children go
Is it better in malls than in the sun

They'll never learn to play
Just to consume and wait
When you speak of love they won't understand
They'll only know beauty as Angelina Jolie
And not the way the milkweed feels when you press it in your hands

Meet me at the pond
Meet me at the pond
