ABOUT THE SONG
I wrote this song around late summer of 2009. I had just gotten back from an extended stay out in LA, chasing opportunity, and I think that experience came with a turning point. I think that was the point I really started to grow into my adulthood and be comfortable in knowing who I was as a young woman. I learned so many lessons that year, about what I wanted, and what I didn't want. I think I was starting to become more self aware, and I could feel my own personal growth, and that made me nostalgic about childhood. This song is not me bidding that farewell, but loving and accepting that those innocent years will always be a part of me, even as I grow up. It's just a song about life. It's about the innocent years, it's about growing pains; it's happy, sad, bittersweet, and everything in between. Music & Lyrics by Justina Carubia Scratch Demos © 2009 Verse 1: Remember when we were Running wild, catching embers Of the fireflies in the summer night Not a worry or care in the world Peeling skins off the cicada bugs Beating up the boys, push them in the mud But time flies and we all grow Pre Chorus: Eating all the honeysuckles On the porch swing blowing bubbles Man how I wish I was a kid again Chorus: Cuz we were so careless and innocent At make believe, we were the best These memories are Timeless Timeless... Verse 2: Be careful what you wish for Not to rush these cherished or Fail to take in every moment When you're little little Things don't make sense When the wise ones Say you'll understand About everything When you're all grown up Fast forward to the day you wake up Pre Chorus: Kissing boys and go to college Wedding vows and grandma's knowledge Lessons learned and everything that's in between Cuz... Chorus: Cuz we were so careless and innocent At make believe, we were the best These memories are Timeless Timeless... These memories are Timeless Bridge: Sometimes life feels like An express train It moves too fast But sometimes we'll never know If we're even on the right track Break: Cuz we were so careless and innocent At make believe, we were the best These memories are Timeless Chorus: Cuz we were so careless and innocent At make believe, we were the best These memories are Timeless Cuz we were so careless and innocent At make believe, we were the best These memories are Timeless These memories are Timeless These memories are Timeless Timeless...
