a world away

i still recall every summer night
like it was yesterday
the time would never end
and my friends were family
nothing mattered more
than the loyalty we had
now i'm a world away from everything we shared
i had something better
waiting ahead
i try to take control of my heart
i had something better
but i'll tear it down
and i'll tape it up
by my own design i fall
bring back the days
three story parking lot
the air is never dry
as the city falls asleep,
days bleed into the night
the tables set the stage
for a life of memories
but i'm a world away from everything
