So Long, Astoria (Ataris)

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 remembrence Are just like shipwrecks Only theyre gone faster Than the smell after it rains Last night while everyone was sleepin I tripped through my old neighborhood And resurrected memories from ashes We said that we would never We were really just like them Does rebellion ever make a difference Life is Only As good as the memories we make And I’m taking back what belongs to me These relics of remembrence 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
