Going back to get away after everything has changed

Artist- Paramore
Song of the day- Franklin

So tonight was my 10 year high school reunion and I'm 1,000 miles away. And though I always felt kind of 1,000 miles away in high school, I couldn't help thinking of home, some of the good times, and so many of the things I would change if I could go back and talk to my high school self. It reminded me of this songs that seems to be on repeat on my iphone this week and makes me realize how we change, why things play out like they do, and why it is you can never really go back home. Perhaps physically, but it will never feel the same as it did. And in some ways it's bittersweet and in most ways I thank the good lord for it. I never quite fit in my kmart renovated school, but it shaped some of my beliefs and the majority of my quirks and made me want to find where I belong. So for that I shall always be grateful. And to all your own past pasts, this one's for you.



And when we get home, I know we won't be home at all
This place we live, it is not where we belong
And I miss who we were in the town that we could call our own
Going back to get away after everything has changed

'Cause you remind me of a time when we were so alive
(Everything has changed)
Do you remember that? Do you remember that?
(Everything has changed)
'Could you help me push aside all that I have left behind
(Everything has changed)
Do you remember that? Do you remember that?

So we stand here now and no one knows us at all
I won't get used to this
I won't get used to being gone
And going back won't feel the same if we aren't staying
Going back to get away after everything has changed

Could you remind me of a time when we were so alive
(Everything has changed)
Do you remember that? Do you remember that?
(Everything has changed)
'Could you help me push aside all that I have left behind
(Everything has changed)
Do you remember that? Do you remember that?

Taking up our time
Taking up our time
Taking up our time
It's taking up our time we can't
go back, we can't go back at all
It's taking up our time we can't
go back, we can't go back at all
It's taking up our time we can't
go back, we can't go back at all
It's taking up our time, taking up our time

Could you remind me of a time when we were so alive
Do you remember that? Do you remember that?
