Flashbacks - Jamestown Story

Had enough

Of the right that we know when it’s wrong

Of the good times to know when they’re gone

Of the songs that remain be sung

Living life

Carefree and bannered in youth

Built on eternal debut

Neglecting and stretching the truth

Watching time slip away and all its color fade to gray

What’s been written in stone can’t be erased

Looking back

We were so young and naïve

To pretend growing up was impossible

Hell, we thought it was optional

Now there’s shadows

Where color found life in the past

And silence where voice had a chance

Left with questions that we’ll never ask

We let time slip away and all its color fade to gray

What we’ve written in stone can’t be erased

It’s sad how life slips away

In the blink of an eye it’s gone by

And the flashbacks are all that we manage to save

If we’re lost and can’t find a way

To turn these embers back into a flame

Keep holding on

If we’re lost with no where to run

If the rush we’ve been chasing is gone

Keep holding on

We let time slip away and watched its color fade to gray

But what we’ve written in stone can’t be erased

We saw how life slips away

In the blink of an eye it’s gone by

And the flashbacks are all that we manage to save
