Ataris The So Long Astoria Lyrics

So Long Astoria Lyrics

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 fit in
we
were really just like them
does rebellion ever make a difference

life
is
only
as good as the memories we make
and im 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
