Lost in a Memory

There was a day, a day that changed it all (changed it all)
In those moments I forgot just what to say (just what to say)
Made no sense to me
To be free, I was that day
I was free
Simple as can be
There was one thing; I didn't know what to do (what to do)
Or where to go, so I found significance in everything
I was amazed just by living in that day
I was free
Simple as can be

Escape

Seeing the same sights everyday.... how long before I leave this place?
Cause I don't care where I go; just get me out of here
Driving down the same path as everyone....

In Retrospect

Life is just a series of phases that never return
You can only live in the moment for so long before it takes its toll
Time has passed and friendships are gone... it's empty here
I cannot wait for it all
Watch it crumble and be dull
It's easy to forget that I made mistakes, just like you
In retrospect it was great but I forget reality
Now I can't look, no I can't look back; it's all said and done
I cannot wait for it all
Watch it crumble and be dull

Simple Joys
02:41

Being with a friend
Just singing some tunes
Wasting away our days
Finding ourselves in each other
These are my simple joys because they are invaluable
There is no reason,
And there is no worth
But I will always know
I wouldn't change a thing
These are my simple joys because they are invaluable

No Sacrifices
02:47
|

We need to look into ourselves and find that one elusive thing
It may be in our grasp, but first we must ask ourselves
Is it worth sacrificing happiness for anything?
A loss of direction and a loss of speed
Only leaves me wondering where I'm going to be, but
Is it worth sacrificing happiness for anything?
