Remember back when we used to have
Younger lungs and a louder mouth?
We cursed out loud after one lonely fact
That we knew it wouldn't last
I always thought we would be better off
Completely gone than completely lost
But now the reasons why are becoming a blur

So to whom it may concern
Every lesson that I've learned
All the pages ripped and burned
It's the thought that there's a memory
And it's starting to come back to me

Three streets down and one block over
It's where we do it all again
Again, again, whoa
Three streets down and one block over
It's where we do it all again

Remember when this was the promised land?
Awake at night with no future plan
We believed what's lost will always come back
But we knew it wouldn't last
I kinda thought we would be crossing off
The list we'd done, not who we had lost
But now the reasons why are becoming a blur
