Well here is the end of my summer; I made a collage from graduation to now.... sad times that it's all over! I can't believe tomorrow I leave this town and I am no longer a resident of Canyon Country, but of Santa Barabra. A college girl living on my own in a dorm full of other kids with similar hopes and dreams. Some of us will achieve them, some of us will never get there, but we'll all come out changed for life. Whether it be bad or good, I have yet to know but something tells me a lot of growing is about to be done.
So I'm stealing a journal entry from Jeff the day before he left for college; ever since he posted it I've been waiting till I could use it. And congratulations, today is my day!
If I leave here tomorrow
Would you still remember me?
For I must be travelling on, now,
’cause there’s too many places I’ve got to see.
But, if I stayed here with you,
Things just couldn’t be the same.
’cause I’m as free as a bird now,
And this bird you can not change.
Lord knows, I can’t change.
Bye, bye, it’s been a sweet love.
Though this feeling I can’t change.
But please don’t take it badly,
’cause lord knows I’m to blame.
But, if I stayed here with you,
Things just couldn’t be the same.
Cause I’m as free as a bird now,
And this bird you’ll never change.
And this bird you can not change.
Lord knows, I can’t change.
Lord help me, I can’t change.
I am leaving here tomorrow.
The Friday sun bears down again
As we drive with our friends
And on these longest days we spend
All the time trying to pretend
That our stories could be true
Our chance to be cool
The setting sun says the day is through
If only we knew...
And we all sit around here in our home town
Listen to the waves as they all crash down
And watch the fire as it slowly bruns away
Glowing embers lie across the sky
Here by my side, in my summer, our last summer
The world passes by in my summer, our last summer
The light makes shadows fall, surrounded by each other
Alive to watch it all, the view from our last summer
The view from our last summer...
We trace the sun across the sky
And we laugh till we cry
Always so hard to say goodbye.... Goodbye....
