lyrics

It’s not so much the words
as where we were then
I'm swaying to the music
in my parents' den

on the corners of the jackets
masking tape with a name
the ridges that we both felt
the songs we share the same

my mind will fade
or so i’m told
we we remember these songs
when we're old

and I could cry from the nostalgia
some people just put it best
some times words fall short
this ones not like the rest

I'm feeling empathy with the same words
as when we were teens
feeding the rhythm of your breath
wont turn it off just so we can breathe

my mind will fade
or so i’m told
will we remember these songs
when we're old

the song’s remain the same
as our voices they grow old
and they heal slower as we age now
we’re still pushing through the folds

we search for meaning from the songs
we first sang when we were kids
the greats still fold from the pressure
a better choice to remain hid

my mind will fade
or so I'm told
will we remember the songs
when we're old
