 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
 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

 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)
--/-----
 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
