A Grey Area

Old Times Sake (Epigraph by Yesika Salgado)

lyrics: 
growing up we stayed here every year
those days disappeared in the rearview mirror 
different stage and this timeline is pretty strange 
used to have the run of this place
on the cliffs where people used to meet over spliffs 
now they’re standoffish and they don’t say hey 
yeah i know, i know shouldn’t ruminate
reminisce and staring off into space
we’re okay now i guess but

things around here never really feel quite the same 
we’re okay now i guess but
things around here tend to feel a little bit more tame 
we’re okay now i guess but
most people left here are pretty nice but kinda lame 
we’re okay now i guess but
things around here never really feel quite the same

bought a van
took a chance out in the promiseland
some things don’t pan out like the way we plan 
people make all their comments
act like they deserve a hand
just too bad they can’t understand
without you up here with us, hard to have fun
never a burden to anyone
yeah you wanted to leave you were trying to stay 
now it's photographs and dying bouquets
we’re okay now i guess but

things around here never really feel quite the same 
we’re okay now i guess but
things around here tend to feel a little bit more tame 
we’re okay now i guess but
most people left here are pretty nice but kinda lame 
we’re okay now i guess but
things around here never really feel quite the same

moving on can’t say it's easy when you're gone 
patiently waiting here for the dawn
sounds cliché but it's true when they say
the best of us are taken away
we’re okay now i guess but

things around here never really feel quite the same 
we’re okay now i guess but
things around here tend to feel a little bit more tame 
we’re okay now i guess but
most people left here are pretty nice but kinda lame 
we’re okay now i guess but
things around here never really feel quite the same
