Turn up the radio, love.
to drown out my thoughts
we could talk about us
and we should
but if you turn up the radio
we don't need to talk
we can sing
you think you're a good singer
and so do I
truthfully we're both terrible
but that's okay
cuz I love you
and I love this song
So turn it up
and we'll pretend responsibility is a fairytale
and doubt is a myth
Turn up the radio, love.
I am from the pond out back, from frogs and dogs, and camping under the stars.
I am from camo and rifles, from gardening with my grandma to family reunions.
I am from blanket forts and Saturday morning cartoons, from late night adventures with friends to stories told by the light of a campfire.
I am from family and friends, love and happiness, but I am also from divorce and tears, from locked doors and yelling through walls.
I come from weddings and new beginnings, teaching me that even though there is a dark side to life there is a light at the end.
I am from ****** knees and biking down dirt trails, from adventure and mystery, not knowing where the road will take us.
I am from convertibles and the wind in my face, from predictable jokes to fishing on the lake in the warm sun.
I am from late summer nights on the beach with my friends to sled races down snow covered streets.
I am from memories that I have and the memories I have yet to make. My past is what makes me, me and I cherish last bit of it, good or bad.
