Lyrics
Slow me down
Don't want to run my race too soon
What I wouldn't give
For another wasted afternoon
Drinking in the basement, hiding in the trees
Holding a star in our hands
Slips like sand through my fingers
Slips like sand
We had summer suns and baseball fields
Never hearing the turn of the wheel
I know it's gone, but I must believe
It's not some long forgotten dream
So I drink to remember
I close my eyes
But I can't make out the scene
Just watching the images flicker and fade
And I know there is no sacred ground
And I'm a man without a home
Just some memories in a jewelry box
That I take wherever I go
We had summer suns and baseball fields
Never hearing the turn of the wheel
I know it's gone, but I must believe
It's not some long forgotten dream
So I drink to remember
I drink to remember
