Do you remember? Do you remember?
Golden leaves in November
Do you remember? Do you remember?
Silverdale in December
All that snow with no place to go
Can't make practice, can't go to a show
The world has changed outside my window
What will it be? Where will we go?
I sat there in silence
All those memories crossed my mind
I love life now
But those were the best of times
Do you remember? Do you remember?
The summer sky in July
Do you remember? Do you remember?
The summers flying by
No summer job, no transportation
Crashing parties, no invitation
Hitching rides and going nowhere
Sneaking in to the county fair
I'm looking forward to better days
In modern times with a whole new face
'Cause we're growing up and all that it takes
Is looking forward to better days
