Memories
Remember the good old days
When nights were long and summers sweet
And you and me
Were more than faded memories
Living out future ‘remember whens’
And thinking it would never end
Yeah It’s fun to think of ‘could-have-beens’
But the cold fact is they’re all past tense
Stupid moves and near escapes
Laughing at past escapades
‘You-really-did-that’s’ and
‘Remember way back’s’ and
And reliving things you wouldn’t believe
But now I’m just clinging to the memories
And thinking ‘bout things that will never be.
Remember the younger days
When we didn’t get scared and wouldn’t be beat
And you and me
Were as fearless as anyone could be
Going further than ever before
We’d of laughed at the stoop of death’s own door
And told friends about it forever more
Never had a chance to get bored
Stupid moves and near escapes
Laughing at past escapades
‘You-really-did-that’s’ and
‘Remember way back’s’ and
And reliving things you wouldn’t believe
But now I’m just clinging to the memories
And thinking ‘bout things that will never be.
Remember those simple days
Our friendship despite the views of society
And you and me
Were as close as any two could be
When the line between friendly and weird was hazed
You and me trying to find our way
Treading water, pushing against the grain
Learning about life the hard way
Stupid moves and near escapes
Laughing at past escapades
‘You-really-did-that’s’ and
‘Remember way back’s’ and
And reliving things you wouldn’t believe
But now I’m just clinging to the memories
And thinking ‘bout things that will never be.
Yeah it’s all become memory
But has it only happened to me?
I think not – now I see
Just as morning comes and you forget your dreams
Perhaps a brighter day has come, a brighter sun beams
And we can make better memories
Just you and me
