if the burden seems too much to bear remember the end will justify the pain it took to get us there

Here in this diary I write you visions of my summer.
It was the best I ever had.
There were choruses and sing alongs
and that unspoken feeling of knowing that
right now is all that matters.

All the nights we stayed up talking
listening to 80's songs,
and quoting lines from all the movies that we love.
It still brings a smile to my face.

I guess when it comes down to it
being grown up isn't half as fun as growing up.
These are the best days of our lives.
The only thing that matters is just following your heart
and eventually you'll get it right.

Breaking into hotel swimming pools
and wreaking havoc on our world.
Hanging out at truck stops just to pass the time.
The blacktop singing me to sleep.

Lighting fireworks in parking lots
illuminate the blackest nights.
Cherry cokes under the moonlit summer sky.
2015 Riverside, it's time to say goodbye.
Get on the bus, it's time to go.
