Memories

Yeah, it's that first day of first grade

That cute girl, your third date

That backpack, that snapback

You've had since the third grade

The first time you got laid

The worst time you got played

It hurt, but you're okay

You learned from your mistakes

Your friends back in high school

We thought we were so cool

We'd steal Jack, my dad's stash

And drink the whole night through

The first time you first moved

Dad's new job, a new roof

New student, made new friends

A new start, a new you

I guess things could be worse

Dad's in sales and my mom is a nurse, yeah

Family comes first, remember all the good

And forget about the worst, yeah

Some things will burn and others will hurt

But you can make it work, yeah

Just flashback and be glad that you can look back

At a good past happy that you have that

I like living in the past, it makes me thankful

For everything I have, yeah

Every time that I laughed, it makes me grateful

For the present and the past, yeah

Don't live life too fast, take it all slowly

And you can make it last, yeah

Keep all the friends that you had back in your math class

You'll be glad that you have 'em when you look back

Yeah, yeah

It's that time that you got caught

You snuck out and forgot

Your parents were so mad

But man, she was so hot

That time you got too drunk

The first time you blew chunks

It's okay, we all drank too much when we're too young

The first time you held hands

Your first time in romance

You thought you had no chance

But still asked her to dance

The time that you moved out

Your parents were so proud

And waving goodbye

They held back their tears somehow

Let's go

All lives aren't the same

But we can work together, and we can make a change, yeah

This life is strange

Remember all the good while forgetting all the pain, yeah

Think back to a day when you were so free

Just to run around to play, yeah

You can have that day, just let go

Let your mind run away, yeah

And learn to be young

Have a little fun with your friends in the sun

'Cause in life you only got one

Give yourself a break, quit livin' on the run

And be where your feet are

Layin' down at night just to stare up at the stars, yeah

And be proud of who you are

Wear your memories on your sleeve like a scar
