Serenity

(album: Get In The Van! - 2013)

There was a time, not long ago
We lost our minds, the story goes
And we would stay up late in the summer sun, sing along to the same old songs

We had the night, to all let go
We spent our lives, out of control
If we only knew what we knew right now, maybe we could turn it back around

We had the world in the palm of our hands, we made mistakes but we still took chances
We had the world in the palm of our hands; we had it all but we took it for granted

When everything is changing, don't you be afraid
We never wanted it to end up this way, but that's how stories are made

Our hopes were high, our heads stayed low
That was the life, we'd ever known
Week by week we were stuck on repeat, everything was within our reach

We had a summer time, state of mind to stay on track
We had each other to discover anything we lacked
We have a list of everything that we wish we could take back now

We had the world in the palm of our hands, we made mistakes but we still took chances
We had the world in the palm of our hands; we had it all but we took it for granted

When everything is changing, don't you be afraid
We never wanted it to end up this way, but that's how stories are made
I know I know it's a lot to ask, but let's face the facts; we can't live in the past
So here's to our serenity, we're in it for the memories

We're living on the edge now
Just like we always had it planned out
It was perfectly imperfect
But it was worth, yeah it was worth it
