you know I grew up not far from here,
I guess it felt different then but I can't really tell you what it was like, it's all photos.It was just over those mountains and that highway. Over there was the mall where I went with my aunt to buy the outfit for picture day in the fourth grade but then that store closed. We still went ice skating together but now it's a movie theater I've never been to. Everything that's gone looks different and that's just how it is. I had hoped that we would be together now but everyone knows that can't happen and sometimes nothing's ever the same |
