first quote: Mayday Parade- Silence

second quote: Jay Z ft. Mr. Hudson - Young Forever

"The memories, they take her back..."

The bright sun shining down on Plymouth Road

While the children play in the street.

The stars twinkling over the heads of a teenager

And the one she loves.

The nights when she had her best friend sleep over.

The early mornings when she stumbled into her best friend's house

Smelling like the party she just came from.

Everything is spinning-

Lying on Covell Beach for hours with her nana,

Lying on the couch with a boy she just met.

It's 3pm and she's at the mall with her mom,

It's 3pm and she's sipping Kahlua at the tracks.

Halloween in Lynn-

Haunted houses, candy, family.

Halloween in Malden-

Shaving cream, watermelon vodka, a tent.

Sex in the trailor, vicodin in her mouth,

The realization may eventually come.

Running through the woods at Pine Banks.

Hiding in the woods, smoking weed from a bottle.

Forestdale Cemetery-

Her first bike ride. Driving a car. Drunk hookup.

The future only holds parts of these good times.

They can never be re-lived, but some can be re-invented.

"So-

Let's just stay in the moment,

Smoke some weed, drink some wine,

Reminisce, talk some shit,

Forever young is in your mind."
