SONG LYRICS
I’m back
Back in town
And everything has changed
I feel
Feel let down
The faces stay the same
I see
See shadows
Of who we used to be
When I drive
Drive so slow through this memory

When we were only kids
And we were best of friends
And we hoped for the best
And let go of the rest

I heard
Heard myself
Say things I’d that back
If could
Could retell
And make this stories last
I see
See shadows of who we’ll always be
When I’m drive, drive these roads
That made our memories

When we were only kids
And we were best of friends
And we hoped for the best
And let go of the rest
The shadows and regrets
We’ll let go of the rest

Everything has changed
The faces stayed the same
Everything has changes
The faces stayed the same

When we were only kids
And our time couldn’t end
And how tall did we stand
With world in our hands

And we were only kids
And we were best of friends
And we hopped for the best
And let go of the rest
The shadows and regrets
We’ll let go of the rest
The shadows and regrets
We’ll let go of the rest

MY REVIEW:

Best line: i see, see shadows of who we used to be, when i drive, drive these roads, through this memory

What I think the lyrics are about: i think ryan is trying to express his feelings of someone back in his hometown, someone close to him, it could relate to the band itself, being back in there hometown, everything changing but yet, everyone stayed the same, and they moved on and they changed

MY REVIEW:

Best line: "I see
See shadows of who we’ll always be
When I’m drive, drive these roads
That made our memories"

What I think the lyrics are about:

What this song reminds me of: When I moved away from home at 18 years of age and went all the way from Florida to California. I then had to end up coming home and even though it hadn't been very long that I was gone (months rather than years) things had still changed. People I'd been close to as a child, our relationship was completely different, only a shadow of what it used to be. But there is a very small group whom I've been friends with since we were all kids together, I think of them too with this song. Especially with the lyrics
"When we were only kids
And we were best of friends
And we hoped for the best
And let go of the rest" So for me this is a very bittersweet but still nostalgic song to me.

My bottom-line review: It's awesome!

My rating: 10
