about

|Whether you can remember it or not, everything that you've thought or done leaves a meaningful imprint, a sign of significance, like a daffodil pressed into a book.|

{This is the first track written after Zack joined the band. Also, Zack is in the band now.}

lyrics

Sitting still for once
Restless muscles stay in place
Both feet on the table
Eyes fixed on the wall
Another summer gone
Another chapter painted over
In a sentimental haze

That I try to wave away
Pages rustle; watch dust rise
Look inside to find
Look inside to

{find} Milky white daffodils
Pressed inside the pages of a book
I can't remember
Why I put them there
Every year moves along
Writing passages and moments
That used to mean something to me

But now I can't remember
The way things were
Wish I could remember
The way things were

I felt it all at once
Air's familiar; I know this place
The name of it escapes me
It was written on the wall
How long have I been gone?
Every memory painted over
In a sentimental

{haze} Milky white daffodils
Pressed inside the pages of a book
I can't remember
Why I put them there
Every year moves along
Writing passages and moments
That used to mean something to me

But now I can't remember
The way things were
Wish I could remember
The way things were

Way off the beaten path
Way home or a pitfall
Lose track of my own trail
Feeling my memory fail
me

Way off the beaten path
Way home or a pitfall
Lose track of my own trail
Feeling my memory fail
me

Now I can't remember
The way things were
Wish I could re<whoa>member
The way things were
