Verse 1

It was the first snow of the season

I can almost see you breathing

in the middle of that empty street

Sometimes I still see myself

in that lonesome bedroom Playing my guitar

and singing songs of hope for a better future

Chorus

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 rememberence

are just like shipwrecks

Only they're gone faster than

the smell after it rains

Interlude

D--G--Bm--G-A

Verse 2

Last night while everyone was sleeping

I drove through my old neighborhood

And resurrected memories from ashes

We said that we would never fit in

When we were really just like them

Does rebellion ever make a difference?

(Repeat Chorus)

Interlude

--/-----

Outro

So long Astoria I found a

map to buried treasure

And even if we come home

empty handed we'll 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 and I'm takin back

----(hold)

i'm takin them all back
