Memory Lane's a rough place
misery, love, and hurt
tagged on street signs.

Visiting for the weekend,
walking down the alleyway
I found my past.

I nearly remembered
my youth.

Rough as it was,
I stopped
and looked around.

Life, progress, confusion,
holidays, trips, siblings,
baseball, birthdays, guitar,
strange thoughts, crushes... driving

No one knows me
no one cares to know me
no one can make me care if they care
no one can stop me
Now or forever.

Memory Lane's a rough place
misery, love, and hurt
helps me become...
Me.
