*This is more a song about how I’ve changed since Russell’s passing and how my outlook on life has dramatically taken a turn since 2010. Russell has made realise that we really don’t have any idea when our time is up, and to live like it could be tomorrow. Don’t hold grudges. If you hate your job, find a new one. Always make sure your loved ones know that you love them... Life can be brutal, but it’s not waiting for any of us.*
Lyrics:
I remember the exact time and where I was, when I got the phone call that you had died
You sold out your funeral, we all sat in silence, and I cry every time I hear 21 guns.
You changed my life five years ago today, I knew I could but I just shouldn’t stay the same, so I upped and left and I changed
Into a man that my family and friends and even myself would be proud of
but I’ve got nothing, nothing to my name
All our friends are getting graduating, starting families and getting married, and there’s me
But I had the guts to chase a girl across the other side of this world, it fun for a year ‘til it all fell to shit, but I’ll never regret what we had, the friends I made, the memories we shared, cause all good things must end.
I don’t know if I believe in ghosts, but if you’re around I really want you to know, that I’ll stay young with you forever. We never had all that much in common, except the fact we couldn’t talk to women, so I’ll just talk to you,
You and I will always be sixteen
You and I will always be sixteen
We will always be sixteen
We will always be sixteen
We will always be sixteen
