Nostalgia

This is what I recall not the highs yet still not the lows

But the moments left without a home

The times I thought would never last

Nostalgia steals and places back

Into my eyes I see my past

Throughout our days we've been trying to fill this place

Through a polaroid lens and makeshift picture frames

For what our minds cant retain

But you could always replace these fractured scenes

Of us building a bridge only to cross a stream

But I can't say the same

They drive like cars on my minds

Roads they pass caution signs

Warning not to remind

There shining brights say softly go to sleep baby dream

Go back to those memories

Throughout our days we've been trying to fill this place

Through a polaroid lens and makeshift picture frames

For what our minds can't retain

But you could always replace these fractured scenes

Of us building a bridge only to cross a stream

But I can't say the same

I can't say the same I promise I'll always see

The summer you spent singing over me

My matted hair from lying in the leaves

Your father falling from the neighbors tree

The oceans salt and the autumn leaves

The scents still bring me to my knees

Oh how I dread this familiar breeze

For what it brings

For what it brings
