a couple of amazing ataris songs
"So Long Astoria"
It was the first snow of the season
i can almost see you breathin
in the middle of that empty street
Sometimes i still see that lonesome bedroom
playin my guitar
and singing songs of hope for a better future
life is only as good as the memories we make
and i'm taking back what belongs to me
polaroids of classrooms unattended
these relics of remembrance are just like shipwrecks
only theyre gone faster than the smell after it rains
last night while everyone was sleepin
i drove through my old neighborhood
and resurrected memories from ashes
we said that we would never fit in
we were really just like them
does rebellion ever make a difference
life is only as good as the memories we make
and im taking back what belongs to me
polaroids of classrooms unattended
these relics of remembrance
are just like shipwrecks
only theyre gone faster than the smell after it rains
So long astoria i found a map to buried treasure
and even if we come home empty handed
well still have our stories
of battle scars, pirate ships and wounded hearts,
broken bones, and all the best of friendships
and when this hourglasshas filtered out its final grain of sand
i raise my glass to the memories we had
this is my wish
this is my wish
im takin them back
im takin them all back

"I wont spend another night alone"
A star up in the sky goes slowly passing by,
The lights below...they spell out your name.
You're comfort on my mind and you're with me all the time.
And lots of feelings that I can't explain.
I won't spend another night alone. [x2]
Out of every girl I meet, no other can compete
I'd ditch 'em all for a night with you.
I know you don't believe you mean this much to me
But I promise you that you do.
If I had one wish this is what it would be...
I'd ask you to spend all your time here with me,
And we'd be together forever.
We'd buy a small house in south central L.A.
Raise lots of kids then we'd both join a gang
Just as long as we're together.
The things you make me wanna do
I'd rob a quik-e-mart for you
I'd go to the pound and let all the cats go free
Just as long as you'd be with me.
I won't spend another night alone. [x2]

"San Dimas HS football rules"
Last night I had a dream that we went to Disneyland,
Went on all the rides, didn't have to wait in line.
I drove you to your house where we stared up at the stars
I listened to your heartbeat as I held you in my arms.
We hung out at the rainbow where we drank til' half past two.
Nothing could go wrong anytime that I'm with you.
Like crashing a hotel room or leading up to that first kiss
Or searching for a high school that you know doesn't exist...
These are the things that make me free
I feel like I'm stuck in "stand by me"
This night was too good to be true.
Today I woke up alone wishing you were here with me,
I wanted us to be something that we'd probably never be.
Today you called me up and said you'd see me at our show,
But now I'm stuck debating if I even wanna go.
Whitney, don't you understand that what I say is true?
I just want you to know I have a major crush on you.
I'd drive you to Las Vegas and do the things you wanna do
I'd even have Wayne Newton dedicate a song to you.
I only wish that this could be
Just dump your boyfriend and go out with me
I swear I'd treat you like a queen.
