"a memory we own" lyrics

Waking up in my own bed
The smell of waffles and syrup prepared by my mother downstairs
And my morning drives down Webb
Singin' my tunes in the car always contempt

I walk down the hallway, and I see the smiling faces
Thinking maybe one day, we'll become something great, we'll learn to let go
This is not forever, we will see each other next year
But it won't be the same, we'll become something gray
A memory we own

Feelin' like I can fly free
They were the one thing that kept me from spreading my wings
But my friends they'll always be
Forever a part of my life, my family

I walk down the hallway, and I see the smiling faces
Again and again, never different same friends, we'll learn to let go
This is not forever, we will see each other next year
But it won't be the same, we'll become something gray
A memory we own

It's the end of the chapter, for us
The start of a new book, for us
A blank page, a new life, for us
For us

I walk down the hallway, and I see the smiling faces
Thinking maybe one day, we'll become something great, we'll learn to let go
This is not forever, we will see each other next year
But it won't be the same, we'll become something gray
A memory we own
