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 rememberance Are just like shipwrecks Only they're gone faster than the smell after it rains
Last night when everyone was sleeping I dreampt of 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 im taking back what belongs to me Polaroids of classrooms unattended These relics of rememberance are just like shipwrecks Only they're gone faster than the smell after it rains
So long, astoria I found a map to burried treasure And even if we come home empty-handed We'll still have our stories and battle scars Pirate ships and wounded hearts Broken bones and all the best of friendships And when this hourglass has filtered out it's final grain of sand I'll raise my glass to the memories we own
This is my world And I'm taking it back I'm taking it all back
