So Long, Astoria Lyrics - So Long, Astoria - Ataris

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 rememberance 

Are just like shipwrecks 

Only they're gone faster than the smell after it rains 

Last night when everyone was sleeping 

I dreampt of 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 

Life is only as good as the memories we make 

And im taking back what belongs to me 

Polaroids of classrooms unattended 

These relics of rememberance are just like shipwrecks 

Only they're gone faster than the smell after it rains 

So long, astoria 

I found a map to burried treasure 

And even if we come home empty-handed 

We'll still have our stories and 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'll raise my glass to the memories we own 

This is my world 

And I'm taking it back 

I'm taking it all back
