I was listening to How to save a life by the Fray (:R ) and I sort of wrote this. What do you guys think?
You walk by the park, see the children play
You can't help but realize
That was you ten years ago today
Enjoy your youth while you still can
You always heard
Before the **** hits the fan
Before you need a plan
Then all the memories come back to you
A time when you were innocent and young
Before the midnight bell was rung
And caught a taste of the devil's tongue
[CHORUS]
Remember when you used to have fun and play
Watching the swings sway
Not a care in the world
Just another summer day
You see yourself in one of them
Just a young little stem
With big wide eyes
No hurt, no cries, no lies
Just dreams dancing across big blue skies
Suddenly you see your friends with you
Their souls just as bright and true
You start to play together
Laughing and singing all the way through
Best friends forever you all say
An unbreakable bond you say
You'll never stray
Despite the cliche
[CHORUS]
Remember when you used to have fun and play
Watching the swings sway
Not a care in the world
Just another summer day
Then in an instant everythings gone
He did this, she said that
And without each other you all carry on
Suddenly you find yourself alone
Forced to fly with wings that have never grown
And into the real world you're thrown
All alone
This world is nothing like you imagined
You ask yourself what happened
And its suddenly very dark
Nothing like that peaceful little park
And life's become one big question mark
[CHORUS]
Remember when you used to have fun and play
Watching the swings sway
Not a care in the world
Just another summer day
Just another summer day
Just another summer day
Oh God, you ask, as your voice begins to crack
Please let me go back
Just one more time
I'll get my life back on track
I'll make sure to get my friends back
And even though He doesn't seem to hear you
The same prayer you begin to recite
Please let me make things right
Let me make things right
[CHORUS]
Remember when you used to have fun and play
Watching the swings sway
Not a care in the world
Just another summer day
Just another summer day
Just another summer day
Your eyes once wide and blue
Sting as tears pour on through
How did this happen you ask
These memories are all I have left
It was never meant to be like this
This just can't be real
What do I do know
With a broken heart that'll never heal
[CHORUS]
Remember when you used to have fun and play
Watching the swings sway
Not a care in the world
Just another summer day
Just another summer day
Just another summer day
[CHORUS]
Remember when you used to have fun and play
Watching the swings sway
Not a care in the world
Just another summer day
Just another summer day
Just another summer day
I just wish I could sing :(
