lyrics

When I look back on the pictures held up by thumbtacks
I start to reminisce about all the times I miss
Before the death before my life
Before I wept because of the strife
Because everything was simple
And I don't mind the complex
I love what I have now
But I miss the days before texts
Before I looked up at my phone
Before I sometimes felt alone
When I could get into my zone
And play outside for hours
When the worst pain I felt was from the lemon sours
That I got on special days
Before my mind was a maze
But now that memory's a haze
And it so away it fades

When I got a little older
I would tell my mom I hate her
And that's what I regret most
Because that memory's a host
On my brain that's the pain of growing up in vain and growing up in inane to the ways of the world
I think about the day that my grandmother died
I wonder if who I am would have filled her with pride
I miss the smell of her kitchen and her hugs when I cried
I wonder if these memories are real or just what I want to hear
Looking back on these things won't make life any better
I have to put the past behind me and put together these letters
If I keep staring at these thumbtacks for any more time
I'll find that life has slipped away and now I can't rewind

I remember what it was like those nights before
So alone, I stand
I won't wait forever, I'm sick of playing with my thumbs
So I go, today
