My heart came crashing down on Oceanic 815, I feel lost inside, if you know what I mean; Life and death come, I'm torn right in two, Memories flood, every one that I knew; Stave off the future, look back just once more, I pull out an album, spread it out on the floor; Each photo screams loud to just cherish the past, I want time to slow, but it flies by too fast; Distractions around me remind me of now, And something inside me just wants to ask how; I turned twenty-two in the blink of an eye, And each moment passed only now makes me cry; A person can hold feelings in for too long, And sometimes evoking just takes the right song; Now I sit and reflect on my years as a boy, Some thoughts bring back pain, but most a keen joy; Mixed with hope, fear, and whist, each one filling my heart, In a very great contrast to what was there at the start; And now I must sleep, for the cares of today, Don't compare to tomorrow, and life's just that way; But as I am sleeping, I know I can be sure, That each one of my dreams will hold memories pure; And when I awaken, tomorrow I'll find, That life's what you make it - I'm making it mine; And as I live life, I know that I'll find, That each moment is special, it's one of a kind; And when my life's over, I hope that you send, Me off with this song - in the soundtrack of life, this one is the end. |
