about

something I struggle with daily is its not like it use to be. I don't mean that time I went on tour was awesome or this girl I dated made my summer. I mean when I was 12 years old and I was riding my bike through the summer streets of my home town with my Buddy by my side. We got two mountain dews and a super Nintendo game swinging in a bag from our handlebars. The suns going down and we are immortal. I go back to that place a lot when adult life becomes to engulfing. I remember going to Disneyland and feeling that same thing last year. Wonder is saying that emotion, that spark of life dosnt have to be just talk and a memory. I believe it can be something you grab on too and live with. I get a glimpse of it time to time. The way we as adults live in this age isn't feeding out hearts and souls. Its making them dormant and feel foolish. I don't mean abandoning responsibilities and living selfishly. That's not what I'm saying. I'm saying being innocent again, seeing the world as getting bigger instead of small and impossible. Being in a state of wonder of all that's around us. Believe me I haven't found how to harness this mindset but I'm looking for it. I always will be looking.

lyrics

Its 1997 and I'm 12 yrs old
With the sun fading at my back
And stars at my toes and I push
push through places that I've seen a thousand times
With danger on each side
But running never on my mind
Every haunting is just an empty home
Every street we pass a new country a new place for us to roam
If only is not yet words i say in my life
Its right here it's right now its we are so alive

My youth won't just be remembered
I'll live it day by day

I'm sick and tired being afraid of the unkownn
Instead of running I wanna be chasing the things I wonder

Without those summer nights when I was 12
I wouldn't know how to dream truly be myself

This means for us for me for you
That the magic of life still exists
And the hope of goodness is not a wish but a certainty
The possibility of your life being your life
Is a given not a fading desire


Every time I try and shake it
Everyday it's something else
I can't help but feel like giving in
putting it all on someone else
This can't be how my life is
I can't just live to reminisce
There's something more I'm missing here
Something more than this
