我很喜歡這首歌的歌詞,因為很少可以有歌會講一個很完整的故事

通常就是主歌副歌不斷重複

在這首歌中,主角藉由一張相片與童年的回憶告別

其中他細數了一些兒時的記憶,畫面感很強

此外他也描述了他的懊悔與小時候的期待

用詞很口語,讓人感到很親切

也讓我們在這首歌中跟著他一起回到從前的記憶中

If I was them, I wouldn't let me in

Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, God, I

喔天啊

 

Every memory of lookin' out the back door

I have the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor

Blew every dollar that we ever made

We use to listen to the radio

And sing along with every song we know
