Remember this...

    I heard this again yesterday for the first time since CTYI.... I think i replayed it about 4 times just remembering the tears, the people, the candles and the meaning of the song.

    "Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life)"

    Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road.
    Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to do.
    So make the best of this test, and don't ask why.
    It's not a question, but a lesson learned in time.

    It's something unpredictable, but in the end is right.
    I hope you had the time of your life.

    So take the photographs, and still frames in your mind.
    Hang it on a shelf of good health and good time.
    Tattoos of memories and dead skin on trial.
    For what it's worth, it was worth all the while.
    I hope you had the time of your life.

    I hope you had the time of your life.

    "rows of houses are bearing down on me..."

    "... i made wine from the lilac tree..."

    just some other great ctyi songs i don't think i'll ever forget...


    i wish that i could turn back time and make everything that has ever been bad disappear and make everything be good from now on. i wish that.

    "If I could change the world like a fairy tale,
    I would drink your love from the holy grail.
    I would start with love,
    Tell 'ol beelzebub
    To get out of town
    Cause you just lost your job!"

    Aerosmith "Full Circle"

    waaaaaaaaaahhhhh. so sad. i dont know what i will do if i dont get to come back. and im still eligible for 2 more years! it would be a tragic waste of my time NOT to let me go. After all, its two years and then the rest of my life im lost.

    That was so weird. I was listening to that song on a compilation cd I have of all my favourite songs, and it had just come on - I was as far as "time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go", and then I clicked on this thread. Freaky.
