do you remember

the moment you found out

what really makes you live? 

​

do you remember 

the first time you realized

that your life was limited and precious, 

​

and deciding how you wanted to spend it? 

and deciding to actually spend it how you wanted? 

​

do you remember that one summer?

that one summer

(reasons)

​

you remember that girl

all the promises

​

you remember the ones you carry with you

you live a little bit for them 'cause they didn't get to

so

when it gets tough, when it hurts and 

all you can do is howl at the moon

you do that

​

no matter what anybody thinks

you spend years searching for the words

the word

and may not ever find just the rights ones

but the meaning is in the journey

(reasons)

​

you do it happy, you do it sad

you do it broke, you do it thriving

you do it lonely

when all you can do is howl at the moon

you do that

​
