lyrics

(Verse 1: Christopher Michael Jensen)
As a kid I was passionate 'bout the things that I did, always wantin' to be big and as rich as it gets, yeah, really successful, might be silly in retro, but as a kid it's essential to not limit potential, my favorite sport that I did was to wrestle, long before I grappled with the shit that was stressful, 'cause dreams are fun when you're young, they don't seem dumb like they become when you're older, things never unfold like they're supposed to, even if you're bold, obstacles become boulders, actuality leads to practicality, reality's a bitch and she insists on salary, that's probably why we all sell out and get a job, gettin' lost in our own self doubt, doin' things that we don't like, the bar is lowered, stuck in limbo, wishin' we could start it over

(Chorus: Erok Foret & Christopher Michael Jensen)
Erok: These are the memoirs
Chris: Reminisce
Erok: We remember ours
Chris: From December stars
Erok: To the summertime sunshine
Chris: One time
Erok: If you remember yours, these are the memoirs
Chris: Reminisce
Erok: We remember ours
Chris: From December stars
Erok: To the summertime sunshine
Chris: One time
Erok: If you remember yours

(Verse 2: Christopher Michael Jensen)
Lookin' back, I had all the optimism in the world, with a heart to match, wishin' I could give it to a girl, and as a student, it's strange, 'cause when puberty came, females, you never viewed 'em the same, I always wanted someone to share it all with, but it wasn't that easy, I wasn't prepared to cross it, co-ed parties, playin' spin the bottle, and when it stopped, your head spun, it was like winnin' the lotto, things carried out so innocently, a little peck on the mouth or a kiss on the cheek, in some ways, I never got over my youth, things changed, and people started growin' up, too, these days, people spin the bottle at the tavern, and takin' a shot is like a shot at what matters, age gives way to wisdom and bitterness, and sometimes I just miss the innocence

(Chorus: Erok Foret & Christopher Michael Jensen)
Erok: These are the memoirs
Chris: Reminisce
Erok: We remember ours
Chris: From December stars
Erok: To the summertime sunshine
Chris: One time
Erok: If you remember yours, these are the memoirs
Chris: Reminisce
Erok: We remember ours
Chris: From December stars
Erok: To the summertime sunshine
Chris: One time
Erok: If you remember yours

(Verse 3: Erok Foret)
Eighth grade chemistry, maybe they remember me, take me to the back row, too late for my favorite seat, too shy to blatantly flirt 'cause I was bashful, and god, wasn't even probably, nothin' seemed to bother me as much as lunchroom robbery, which led to the food fights, head full of beans and rice, it seemed right until they caught me, and although I was often awkward, I found a way to charm her blossomed posture, into intertwinin', temperature climbin', still to this day I remember her spine, and it seemed we were never done cryin', lookin' back, I want love to live forever this time, hindsight is 20/20 towards 2012, I'll live my life if ya promise to live one yourself

(Chorus: Erok Foret & Christopher Michael Jensen)
Erok: These are the memoirs
Chris: Reminisce
Erok: We remember ours
Chris: From December stars
Erok: To the summertime sunshine
Chris: One time
Erok: If you remember yours, these are the memoirs
Chris: Reminisce
Erok: We remember ours
Chris: From December stars
Erok: To the summertime sunshine
Chris: One time
Erok: If you remember yours

(Chorus: Erok Foret & Christopher Michael Jensen)
Erok: These are the memoirs
Chris: Reminisce
Erok: We remember ours
Chris: From December stars
Erok: To the summertime sunshine
Chris: One time
Erok: If you remember yours, these are the memoirs
Chris: Reminisce
Erok: We remember ours
Chris: From December stars
Erok: To the summertime sunshine
Chris: One time
Erok: If you remember yours
