“Remember when”

Hey, remember when we

Were so restless we stayed up until two?

Remember that night?

Out on the butte, on the parking lot

Dumping Listerine on bystander’s heads?

We had a lot of fun that night

Hey, do you remember the prank we played?

We were gonna do it on

A high school friend, but

We lost their car and had to

Try it on strangers

I went home that night feeling great

Feeling like I ruled the world

‘Cause I did

You know, in that dictatorship sort of way

Have you ever felt that way?

I know I sure did

That night

Remember when I tripped on the steps

Down by Skinner’s Butte,

Because I wanted to wear my platforms

And they wouldn’t hold up?

Remember how my knee bled like crazy?

It was a damn fun night, though

It was a damn fun night

I’d like to do it again sometime

Because… You know, times are strange

We need strange ways to escape it sometimes

Like the Listerine, and the whipped cream

And skinned knees by Skinner’s Butte

Sometimes we just need a little comfort,

The kind only friends can offer

Thanks buddy,

Hey, remember that night

Where we did all those crazy stunts?

Did I ever tell you that you saved my life?
