It was the first snow of the season
i can almost see you breathin
in the middle of that empty street

Sometimes i still see myself
in that lonesome bedroom
playin 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 classrooms unattended
these relics of remembrance
are just like shipwrecks
only theyre gone faster
than the smell after it rains

last night while everyone was sleepin
i drove through my old neighborhood
and resurrected memories from ashes

we said that we would never fit in
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 classrooms unattended
these relics of remembrance
are just like shipwrecks
only theyre gone faster
than the smell after it rains

So long astoria
i found a map to buried treasure
and even if we come home empty handed
well still have our stories
of battle scars, pirate ships and wounded hearts,
broken bones, and all the best of friendships

and when this hourglass
has filtered out
its final grain of sand
i raise my glass to the memories we had
this is my wish
this is my wish
im takin back
im takin them all back

No, it doesn't make you EMO.

Your tendancy to be a bit light on your feet makes you EMO.

Are you admitting to being the pot?

Imago said:

shut it! Listen to the song damn it!!

Are these the guys that covered a Don Henley song for their only hit and had the balls to wear a 'I Hate Don Henley" t-shirt?

u2prnce said:

hahaha, YES!! Don thought it was funny for the record. They have had plenty indie hits though. That was the only mainstream one they put out.

jerseykrs said:

haha, I don't even like the Eagles or Don Henley really, but it seemed like an asshole thing to do. If Henley thought it was cool, that's fine with me.

It just reminded me of when Limp Bizkit covered "Faith" and all these nu metal mtv kids were dissing George Michael. They were all saying, 'wow' Limp Bizkit made a bad song into sheer awesomeness. It's like 'get real', this guy has real talent, not like Fred Durst. kids.

LOL, I know. But yeah, it was an inside thing with them. Don is actually a fan of Kris Roe (the lead singer), he's actually a very talented song writer. I'm not an Eagles fan either, too "classic" rock for my tastes. I never liked Limp Bizkit....

jerseykrs said:

The Eagles are fifty year old stockbroker music.

You people wouldn't know a good thread if it bit you on the ass.

jerseykrs said:

Just write a song called "Stab my heart, this thread sucks" or "bleed me and stab my thread" or "break my blakenned heart with sucky threads" or something that fits your personality.
