The Ataris - In This Diary

Here in this diary,
I write you visions of my summer.
It was the best I ever had.
There were choruses and sing-alongs,
And not a spoken feeling.
I'm knowing that right now is all that matters.
All the nights we stayed up talking
And listening to 80's songs;
Quoting lines from all those movies that we love.
It still brings a smile to my face.
I guess when it comes down to it.....

Being grown up is isn't half as fun growing up,
These are the best days of our lives.
The only thing that matters
Is just following your heart
And eventually you'll finally get it right.

Breaking into hotel swimming pools,
And wreaking havoc on our world.
Hanging out at truck stops just to pass the time.
The black top's singing me to sleep.
Lighting fireworks in parking lots,
Illuminate the blackest nights.
Cherry cokes under this moonlight summer sky.
2015 riverside, it's time to say, "goodbye."
Get on the bus, it's time to go.

Being grown up isn't half as fun as growing up:
These are the best days of our lives.
The only thing that mattersIs just following your heart,
And eventually you'll finally get it right.

This song talks about taking your youth forgranted and not realizing it until we are grown up. Also this song may talk about how people grow up and eventually move away when the time comes in their life, such as college. Everyone can relate to this because almost everyone always takes their youth forgranted and almost everyone always moves away to persue what they want in life.
