about

flashback to a time when you were still young, and the world was your oyster. things were so much more fun when we were young. we did not worry about tomorrow; we lived for the moment, and the moment was grand!

now they are all just memories... blurs in my brain. it's almost as though it never really happened; it's too distant to believe that it was ever real. that's why it's important to be childish sometimes. otherwise we forget who we really are.

i want to keep being a kid forever.

lyrics

the snow woulda been up to our kneecaps
when we were seven our eight
back then we woulda loved everything
even the things we hate

i'm ashamed, ashamed to know me
don't like the person i was
it took me meeting you to show me
that i can feel trust

arm yourself with fairytales
arm yourself with myth
bundle up in your warmest clothes
don your hats and mitts

flashback to speeding snow lanes
nestled in the hills
treacherous and wonderous
show your sledding skills

Creature comforts keep you trendy
wrap yourself in cool
creature comforts made us vain
life can be so cruel

arm yourself with fairytales
arm yourself with myth
armistice will always fail
peace is just a trick

flashback to an awesome childhood
flashback to a better time
nostalgia can see right through me
back to the river line

arm yourself with fairytales
arm yourself with myth
flashback to a bitter battle
don your hats and mitts
