Change.

The same song's playing on the radio.
The same song I heard back in ninety four.

When I was just a child.
Playing cowboys running wild.

Nostalgia sets in about half past ten.
Nursing a blister from my old fountain pen.

Ink's running dry.
How did the day up and pass me by?

Living my life out of a shoebox full of old photos.

Ticket stubs and notes and secrets I wont expose.

Thoughts explode.
Flashbacks and memories.

Foes now friends.
Friends now enemies.

Stepping out in fair weather.
Vintage shades matched with worn leather.

A dead mans jacket on my back.
I breathe it in and think of Jack.

Days we'd spend skipping school.
Chasing fame and shooting pool.

Changing strings on my guitar, thinking of the first I ever had.
Strumming dead notes, driving everybody mad.

Songs that I would sing for T.
Underneath that fruitless apple tree.

Someone finally chopped it down.
Now it's dusky vacant ground.

Looking up at a clear blue sky.
Almost as deep as Sara's eyes.

Remember when we'd ride bikes on her birthday in July.
Now she's married to a stately guy.

Getting changed by an antique mirror.
I still look like me, just a touch less clearer.

I woke up one day and everything changed.

But deep down...

I still feel the same.

Last Summer

Everything seemed perfect. I heard the birds twittering and felt the warm sun hitting my uncovered skin. I laid down in the grass and closed my eyes. Memories flooding my mind. Back to last summer...

Old Friends

I had you once, I had you twice, Remember when we camped out at the show. Kate scared you to death and you stung your butt when you had to "go".

BFF

To all the times we laugh so hard that we held out sides in pain. To all the times we cried over boys convinces our lives would never be the same.

My Lovely Picture

I saw a picture in my mind So pulled it out and made it mine So beautiful and calm to see Of smiles of friends, of you and me. Forever stretched out all around, Just holding hands without a sound..

Rusted Necklace

Two new necklaces With little silver hearts. I got them for us To say we'll never be apart. We're confused little children, But we sure had fun. Up all night camping, Running round in the sun.

Old Friend

Where have you been my old friend. You used to drive me round the bend. You seem much calmer nowadays. Way back then your life was a haze. Been through so much over the years.

Ash

Warmth feeding warmth Cold fingerprints in the delicate condensation Tracing faces and absent cares On the glass of beer before me.
