作词 : Chronic Future You're the element of surprise that none of us were prepared for The dead body behind the curtain that we couldn't help but stare towards This afternoon you were an only child and a friend to me This evening you're not breathing you're just the seed of a memory Memories of better days Turn the pages back to a faded photograph of Memories of yesterdays The years'll pass by but they'll never bring me back to you They'll never bring me back to you Uh, never bring me back to you They'll never bring me back to Never bring me back, never bring me back to you My memory remembers presently everything from that night My senses always sensor any awful images or sights But I didn't get to see through the eyes his poor mother did I just ask why she had to be the one to discover him Memories of better days Turn the pages back to a faded photograph of Memories of yesterdays The years'll pass by but they'll never bring me back to Never bring me back to you, back to you, back to you All I ask is a better day A better way to carry the weight of you I sing this song to remember the days When I wasn't afraid to carry the weight of you To the friend that I love who has different roots of blood We are the earth that makes mud That comes from rain that made the flood We cycle in and out of what our lives are capable of And through it all I thank you for teaching me below and above Memories of better days Turn the pages back to a faded photograph of Memories of yesterdays The years'll pass by but they'll never bring me back to Memories of better days Turn the pages back to a faded photograph of Memories of yesterdays The years'll pass by but they'll never bring me back to Never bring me back to you I had a friend who was way too young to die I guess death is one of those things some people do to life
