lyrics

My first apartment was on Peterborough Street
And on my walk to school each day, I’d think about my dreams
What I would become someday was always on my mind
Tomorrow and yesterday’s to-do lists, I will get through this, yes I will

And thanks to the sidewalks
That I walked every day
Developing my brain
On the pavement that supports me
It’s leading me to where I’m going

When I’m walking down on Peterborough Street (Peterborough)
As pleasant as walking could be
The birds sing along in the cherry trees (Peterborough)
And the bunnies come out around seven
When the people go home from their gardens (Peterborough)
Peterborough (Peterborough)
Peterborough Street

Daydreams and nightmares along Peterborough Street
Recounting such vivid subconscious anxieties, oh!
What I would become some day was always stressing me out
Tomorrow and yesterday’s to-do lists, I will get through this, yes I will.

And thanks to the sidewalks
That I walked every day
Developing my brain
On the pavement that supports me
It’s leading me to where I’m going

When I’m walking down on Peterborough Street (Peterborough)
As pleasant as walking could be
The birds sing along in the cherry trees (Peterborough)
And the bunnies come out around seven
When the people go home from their gardens (Peterborough)
Peterborough (Peterborough)
Peterborough Street

And I’ll miss the sidewalks
That I walked every day
As I grew into adulthood
I’ve got Peterborough to thank
And now I’m off to where I’m going

I was walking down on Peterborough Street (Peterborough)
As pleasant as walking could be
The birds sing along in the cherry trees (Peterborough)
And the bunnies come out around seven
When the people go home from their gardens (Peterborough)
Peterborough (Peterborough)
Peterborough, one more time! (Peterborough)
Peterborough Street
