It was the first snow of the season
I can almost see you breathing
In the middle of that empty street
Sometimes I still see myself
In that lonesome bedroom Playing my guitar
And singing songs of hope for a better future
Life is Only As good as the memories we make
And i'm taking back what belongs to me
Polaroids of classrooms unattended
These relics of rememberence
Are just like shipwrecks
Only they're gone faster than
The smell after it rains
Last night while everyone was sleeping
I drove through my old neighborhood
And resurrected memories from ashes
We said that we would never fit in
When we were really just like them
Does rebellion ever make a difference?
Life is Only As good as the memories we make
And I'm taking back what belongs to me
Polaroids of classrooms unattended
These relics of rememberence
Are just like shipwrecks
Only they're gone faster than
the smell after it rains
So long Astoria I found a
Map to buried treasure
And even if we come home
Empty handed we'll still have our
Stories of battle scars
Pirate ships and wounded hearts
Broken bones and all
The best of friendships
And when this hourglass has
Filtered out its final grain of sand
I raise my glass to the memories we had
This is my wish and I'm takin back
I'm takin them all back
