Chuck:
Do you remember when we were friends, such a long time ago?
When we would skateboard and dumpster dive in the sun, rain, and snow?
When we would meet up down by the river and imagine a world,
one where the sunlight doesn't fall upon the smog, pollution, and smoke.
Well I remember those days and I wanna get em back.
Early Mornings spent walking to and from the railroad tracks.
Having praxis in the park, our world was black and red.
We would try out recipes made out of dumpstered bread.
And nothing could stop us, we were invincible
spray-painting where we could an “A” inside of a circle(and then I got a road bike to replace my car. It was about that time that my circle became a heart.)
Billy:
I wished that summer would never end
We shot the tube with our heroes and our best friends
The world was easy and the worlds was ours
But our eyes were bigger than our hearts.
I remember those days when it was just you and me
Spray-painting through the night and making folk-punk mix cds
Shoplifting what we could, taking snacks with our left hands
For the first time in my life it feels like someone understands
And nothing could stop us, we were bulletproof and free
No need to eat or sleep, we're fueled by love and anarchy
We slept in fields and rooftops underneath the stars
It was about that time that my circle became a heart.
