So Long, Astoria

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 cla*srooms 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 cla*srooms 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 hourgla*s has filtered out its final grain of sand I'll raise my gla*s to the memories we own This is my world And I'm taking it back I'm taking it all back
