Keepsakes To Keep Going by The Stupid Stupid Henchmen Lyrics
I threw on that shirt that you bought me
The time we drove for like 9 thousand miles around the country
Brought me back to better days
Not giving a damn where we lay our heads to rest
We both knew love was radical
And every hour spent a sabbatical
In that '07 orange dodge caliber
No matter where we went
Every moment in the unknown felt like home
Every sentence meant so much back thеn
In the salad days of no direction
What you said that trip I'll nevеr forget
'I wonder where we'd be if we never went together?'
It's kind of hard to remember every stop we made
But I wrote a journal, document the days
And I still have a roll of Ilford 35 millimetre
Black and white film to develop
We can use the power of our memories, hopes and dreams
To help us get through to see a better day
It's been feeling lately like the end of days are already here
But we can change direction for the better to the upcoming years
Remember the days of rebellious youth?
Protest the state, to seek the truth
'Keep pushing forward', written on the board
Fulfilling the dreams I used to have when I was seventeen
But I failed to make the grades
'Cause my mind was lost in space
Thinking of you and the Brooklyn banks
Tearing vans everyday through the layers of duct tape around my soul
I sealed my fate
The moment I met you
I remember I lent you a 7B lead pencil
To sketch a memory from growing up in the early 90s
That you felt was influential
Then flipping thru the pages, I saw your notes written in Quotations it read 'the best days of our lives
Were floating down the Delaware
Imagining life beyond the sky
Found a picture of us from years ago
Still wearing that same old Carhartt coat
From our trip to Montreal
That kept us warm, in 4 below
Along the tracks to get the Dethhouse show
Let all the fun continue on
No matter what new dumb problems come
Use the past to help you thru the madness
Just remember look back now and again
At how good we used to have it
The time we drove for like 9 thousand miles around the country
Brought me back to better days
Not giving a damn where we lay our heads to rest
We both knew love was radical
And every hour spent a sabbatical
In that '07 orange dodge caliber
No matter where we went
Every moment in the unknown felt like home
Every sentence meant so much back thеn
In the salad days of no direction
What you said that trip I'll nevеr forget
'I wonder where we'd be if we never went together?'
It's kind of hard to remember every stop we made
But I wrote a journal, document the days
And I still have a roll of Ilford 35 millimetre
Black and white film to develop
We can use the power of our memories, hopes and dreams
To help us get through to see a better day
It's been feeling lately like the end of days are already here
But we can change direction for the better to the upcoming years
