Someone asked me last night when Suburban Skies was going to do a reunion. I said never. The person tried to change my mind. I still said no. I wrote this song about Suburban Skies the other day. It's simple, but that was intentional. All of our songs were simple. It doesn't have a name yet.
I met them all when I was 16 and no one liked us or so it seemed
And we would stand around all alone
Singing songs on weekend nights
Arm in arm, it all felt right
We never thought that this would end
And I had your back and you had mine
Load up in a beat up truck
1000 fliers and endless punk rock
We thought that we would change the world
Drive around as we sing and shout
But no one cared so we just got loud
Running in circles never felt so pure as we went
And I had your back and you had mine
As we got older things all changed
We lost touch and went our separate ways
I never grew up but we all changed
That last time we had just two
Sang all the songs that we all knew
But I knew that this whole thing was dead
And I had your back and you had mine
So yeah, that's it. I could probably work on it a little more, but I think I'm gonna leave it like it is.

I dig it. I miss those times man! I didn't think that much has really changed, but it has. We're all responsible now...and that's a scary ass thought! :) Keep writing Drew, that is if you want! You'll always have a fan in me!
