The song so long, astoria is performed by The Ataris in the album named So Long, Astoria in the year 2003 .
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 im taking back what belongs to me
all the voice of cla*srooms unattended
these relics of remembrance
are just like shipwrecks
only theyre gone faster than the smell after it rains
last nite while everyone was sleeping
i drove through my old neighborhood
and resurrected memories from ashes
we said that we would never fit in
but we were really just like them.
does rebellion ever make a difference?
so long astoria
i found a map to buried treasure
and even if we come home empty handed
well still have our stories, our battlescars
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 raise my gla*s to the memories we had
this is my wish
and im taking it back.
im taking them all back.
