Chapter Thirteen: Remember The Faces

CHAPTER THIRTEEN: Remember The Faces

My eyes fluttered open to the brightness pouring in through my window. I yawned as I sat up and stretched in my bed. I loved days like this; when it was sunny in Vancouver and I didn't have to work until 3pm. It gave me time to adjust to the world before I had to work. I smiled to myself as I looked at my reflection in the mirror from across the room. My hair was still in an abundance of curls from last night's party. The party where I officially gained a boyfriend; a boyfriend who is none other than Josh Ramsay.

I rolled out of bed and made my way into the kitchen clicking on the kettle upon my entry. What was I going to do this morning? I shuffled over to the radio on the counter and turned it on. It immediately burst into life. "Alright next song is by the popular local band Marianas Trench!" I smiled as the radio began to play Acadia.

In the house I grew up in

My room in the basement

The hours turning

To years we've spent

Remember Chris in the back yard

Laughing so damn hard

And no one knew why

But the rest is forgotten

Behind me

Sometimes it reminds me

Of when we, we used to

Belong here

Every memory comes on

When I hear that old song

We used to sing

With the words all wrong

I remember the faces

And familiar places

And I sing along

But Acadia is gone

Ran out of gas on the highway

We walked there and I gave

Drunken speeches on sobriety

Now we've all moved away and

Somehow became men

But I remember where it began

Now it's Behind me

Sometimes it reminds me

Of when we, we used to

Belong here

Every memory comes on

When I hear that old song

We used to sing

With the words all wrong

I remember the faces

And familiar places

And I sing along

But Acadia is gone

Remember when

1712 Acadia road fell,

They tore the house down...

Every memory comes on

When I hear that old song

That We used to sing

With the words all wrong

I remember the faces

And familiar places

And I sing along
