'member when we were astronauts
with rockets out of cardboard?
we were soaring around the galaxy
and saving each other from villains galore.

'member when we were cowboys
with stick horses and BB guns?
we rode across the wild west
and were heroes to everyone.

'member when we were superheroes
with aliens invading Planet Earth?
we strapped on our armor and put on our masks
and we fought for every little bit we were worth.

remember when we were dreamers
with hope bright enough to rival stars?
we spent nights lying under dark skies
and days were spent chasing cars.

remember when we took that trip
with nothing with us but the clothes on our back?
we stayed under the stars, but none could rival you
and that was when we became insomniacs

remember when we were scared
with nothing to fight for except each other?
we held on to what little strength we had
and sometimes found some in the other.

remember when we found out
with nothing more to back it up than a test?
we held on to each other, refusing to let go
and you couldn't hold on to the rest.

remember when we started losing each other
with no memories to be shared?
we held on to what we could
and i swore, i swore that you weren't impaired.

remember when we had our last fight
with nothing but words thrown across the empty space?
we slept apart that night and that was my mistake
and I couldn't hold back the tears streaming down my face

do you remember when we drove to the hospital
with the unsteady beeping and the antiseptic smell?
we stayed together as long as we could
and that room ended up becoming your cell.
