Memory

Last night I spent ages looking at old photos from school. It has made me feel really emotional. I couldn’t even remember the names of loads of the people in them- that makes me so sad. Then there are all the friends who I was so close to and haven’t kept in touch with- I don’t even know why I haven’t. I’m going to make an effort to get in touch with some of them again.

Memories are such funny things. Some of those photos make me want to cry remembering all the things I used to do; everything my life was about 5, 6, 7 years ago..In a way I wish I could go back to that time- everything looks so carefree. But actually if I really think about it- they were such difficult times. Everything was so unsure, and so confusing. I’m glad I can look back on it fondly though.

It worries me though. What if come five years time I’m looking at photos of my Uni friends and can’t remember their names? And what if I can’t tell my kids the funny stories behind those pictures from back at school? Meh…it’s too late, I’m being weird. But it worries me. Life goes so quickly.

  • Yeah, life does go so fast. 3 years in Unimas is just a zap! I guess that's why Horace said "carpe diem."

  • "Photograph"
    Look at this photograph
    Everytime I do it makes me laugh
    How did our eyes get so red
    And what the hell is on Joey's head

    And this is where I grew up
    I think the present owner fixed it up
    I never knew we'd ever went without
    The second floor is hard for sneaking out

    And this is where I went to school
    Most of the time had better things to do
    Criminal record says I broke in twice
    I must have done it half a dozen times

    I wonder if it's too late
    Should i go back and try to graduate
    Life's better now then it was back then
    If I was them I wouldn't let me in

    Oh, oh, oh
    Oh, god, I

    Every memory of looking out the back door
    I had the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor
    It's hard to say it, time to say it
    Goodbye, goodbye.
    Every memory of walking out the front door
    I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for
    It's hard to say it, time to say it
    Goodbye, goodbye.

    Remember the old arcade
    Blew every dollar that we ever made
    The cops hated us hangin' out
    They say somebody went and burned it down

    We used to listen to the radio
    And sing along with every song we know
    We said someday we'd find out how it feels
    To sing to more than just the steering wheel

    Kim's the first girl I kissed
    I was so nervous that I nearly missed
    She's had a couple of kids since then
    I haven't seen her since god knows when

    Oh, oh, oh
    Oh, god, I

    Every memory of looking out the back door
    I had the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor
    It's hard to say it, time to say it
    Goodbye, goodbye.
    Every memory of walking out the front door
    I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for
    It's hard to say it, time to say it
    Goodbye, goodbye.

    I miss that town
    I miss the faces
    You can't erase
    You can't replace it
    I miss it now
    I can't believe it
    So hard to stay
    Too hard to leave it

    If I could I relive those days
    I know the one thing that would never change

    Every memory of looking out the back door
    I had the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor
    It's hard to say it, time to say it
    Goodbye, goodbye.
    Every memory of walking out the front door
    I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for
    It's hard to say it, time to say it
    Goodbye, goodbye.

    Look at this photograph
    Everytime I do it makes me laugh
    Everytime I do it makes me...
