Memories

It's that first day of first grade

That cute girl, your third date

That backpack, that snapback

You've had since the third grade

The first time you got laid

The worst time you got played

It hurt but you're ok

You learned from your mistakes

Your friends back in high school

We thought we were so cool

We'd steal jack - my dad's stash

And drink the whole night through

The first time you first moved

Dad's new job, a new roof

New student made new friends, a new start a new you

I guess things could be worse

Dad's in sales and my mom is a nurse

Yea, family comes first

Remember all the good and forget about the worst

Yea, some things will burn

Others will hurt

But you can make it work

Yea

Just flashback and be glad that you can look back

At a good past happy that you have that

I like living in the past

Makes me thankful for everything I have

Yea, every time that I laughed

It makes me grateful for the present and the past

Yea, don't live life too fast

Take it all slowly and you can make it last

Yea, keep all the friends that you had back in your math class

You'll be glad that you have em when you look back

It's that time that you got caught

You snuck out and forgot

Your parents were so mad, but man she was so hot

That time you got too drunk

The first time you blew chunks

It's ok we all drank too much when we're too young

The first time you held hands

Your first time in romance

You thought you had no chance but still asked her to dance

The time that you moved out

Your parents were so proud

And waving goodbye they held back their tears somehow

All lives aren't the same

But we can work together and we can make a change

This life is strange

Remember all the good while forgetting all the pain

Think back to a day

When you were so free just to run around to play

Yea, you can have that day

Just let go let your mind run away

Learn to be young

Have a little fun with your friends in the sun

Cause, in life you only got one

Give yourself a break - quit living on the run

And be where your feet are

Laying down at night just to stare up at the stars

And be proud of who you are

Wear your memories on your sleeve like a scar
