Living in Colour: Though i dreamt with a rapid eye

Filled my heart with red again |

Theme From Cheers: Yes, really. 2010 is the year I graduated from college; the year I realized that growing up has to happen now. "Theme From Cheers" is the perfect track for this scenario: And now that I'm older, I look back and say,
'What the fuck was it for anyway?'
For those dreams are lying in the still of the grave -
What the fuck were they for anyway?
So let it be on a stretcher if I get carried away -
What the fuck was it for anyway? |
