Here Goes the Neighborhood

Looking back when it began
Feels not so far away
Rivals on arrival
Best of friends, archenemies
You shot into our sleeping lives
Electric, wide awake
I'm holding on for dear life
Every season's change

Once was typical
Twice exceptional
On and on, the nights are long
Tomorrow is everyday
Hold my hand the sidewalk ends
Don't run into the street

Neurosis so diverse
New diagnosis every day
Crisis 'round each corner
Total meltdowns on display

You learned to read and ride a bike
And protest by the lake
Through every fall you stood so tall
¿Como se dice brave?

Neurotypical
Twice exceptional
Miles and miles just to see
The smile on your face
Look ahead to see the end
Is not so far away

Oh, so typical!
Twice exceptional
On and on, we get along
Wherever you will stray
All in all, I'll always be there
Not so far away
