Untitled.

Remember, Remember,
time spent in November.
We circled around the fire
Our eyes couldn't stay dry.
Hair blowing in the wind,
our love for this we will defend.
Younger than now, this is the past.
Oh, how we thought it would always last.
No reason to hurry, no reason to wait.
On time for nothing, except for fate.
We had to grow older, we couldn't run away.
If only, if only, we could go back to that day.
The day we didn't worry, the day we didn't cry
We knew all the secrets, no one had to pry.
Hands together, hearts within hearts
We played the game with the best hand of cards.
All that glitters is meant to be gold.
But, what do they say about growing old?
Does the laughter diminish, is it quiet all around?
Do we only see each other when we go back to town?
Lives like a sitcom, it was never a bore
We wondered what the future had in store
We'd laugh together for the rest of our lives
We'll wait for the weekend, and take the drive.
Never forgetting the way that we felt
The problems that came and how we dealt
The issues that made the boys act like men
On each other we knew we could depend
What about the funerals we had to attend?
Trying not to cry, attempting to pretend
that it wasn't scary, and we could make it through
Who will be next? What if it's you?
We questioned the way we'd lived and loved
And if it would ever be enough
Will we have regrets when we're old and gray?
Will we stop to appreciate today, today?
Looking forward at tomorrow, and back and yesterday
These are the words that we all want to say
Remember, remember, the trips that we took
and how the police let us off of the hook =]
How free we felt laying in the sand
feet in the water, beer in our hand
Tanned legs and bright smiles
on beaches that went on for miles and miles
The nights we spent laughing at Seth & Phil's
Or the times we were fighting, our for the kill
The "hey's" we yelled when someone opened the door
I never wanted anything more.
Just wanted to remind you that I won't forget
The way it felt to take the hit
and who I called then, and who called me back
to talk to me about what I might lack.
I'm still here if you need me, just give me a ring
I'll find where you are, and everyone else I will bring
We'll sit, talk and remember, remember...
the way we felt that November.
