lyrics

Do you remember this house once filled with life?
I can hear the ghost of time gone by
the walls echo all the things we said
the friends that came and those that went

It’s so strange to think, they won’t be coming back
I can almost see them in the kitchen, making snacks
fragments of a life once lived
now all that’s left is to reminisce

what once was, now can never be
all we’re left with is memories
try my best to hold on to it
before it’s lost after I forget

There’s a kid long ago, taking video
almost as if he knows, that this perfect day won’t last
There’s a kid long ago, taking video
almost as if he knows, that he’s prone to forget the past.
every day I remember less and less
try to forget the bad and recall the best
every day I remember less and less
try to recall the good and forget the rest

do you remember, I’m sorry I forgot
'06 to 2012 and all it brought
I know six years is a long time
but it’s like a hole inside my mind

a lost balloon, a mental block
a story tied in neural locks
An alternate, universe
where I remember the places I traversed

There’s a kid long ago, taking video
almost as if he knows, that this perfect day won’t last
There’s a kid long ago, taking video
almost as if he knows, that he’s prone to forget the past.
every day I remember less and less
try to forget the bad and recall the best
every day I remember less and less
try to recall the good and forget the rest
