Split In Half

Late nights in the summer Before the lake got frozen over How we dove in, never thinking These were memories we were makin growing up State lines, driving off road Wind screaming through our rolled down windows And the first time we fell over From the booze stolen from your cupboard and throwing up Got my eyes glued to the rearview mirror Scared to see that it's been some years Since i've done a thing worth remembering All I want is half of a memory So that time can let me Fill in the cracks From when i split in half Rewrite the ending Before I empty I'll recollect the past Won't give what time wants back Laughing, under porch lights Crickets singing while my friends got high One was tripping, started crying "Oh god I think I'm dying Call the cops" I'm back home, not welcome here Or recognize what I once held dear Haven't done a thing worth remembering All I want is half of a memory So that time can let me Fill in the cracks From when i split in half Rewrite the ending Before I empty I'll recollect the past Won't give what time wants back Love my family it's not the same My sisters both got new last names And it scares me, im aging And so are both my parents So can I have it back? I just want back Half a memory Since time won't let me Fill in the cracks So I split in half Before the ending And while I empty Ill recollect the past And keep what time wanted back
