I heard a song I hadn't heard in years
Part of my life, I knew all the words
It made me sad but without tears
It made me think about the world
We spend our life taking them for granted
The little moments that make up the bigger ones
The ones that are wasted
Many people give away pennies
But once saved up becomes something trusted
Pennies like the little memories
Saved up becomes something great
But everyday they are given away
That song reminded me of a keepsake
Of the small memories that slowly fade away
Thirty years from now will I remember this poem
This second right now, is now gone
And the sentence you just read
Is now lost in the catacombs of your head
Probably never to be remembered again
All we can do is try to remember back when
And live every second to the fullest
Cause when we we make mistakes
It goes down in our lowest
But the good memories will be forgotten
And never remembered again
That song was a gateway into the catacombs of my mind
Made me think of the way back when
Gave me a feeling of sentimentality
And gave me those memories back
Just to be forgotten again
