But Am I Ready to Let Go?

"Photograph" - Nickelback

Look at this photograph
Every time I do it makes me laugh
How did our eyes get so red
And what the hell is on Joey's head
This is where I grew up
I think the present owner fixed it up
I never knew we ever did without
The second floor is hard for sneaking out
And this is where I went to school
Most of the time had better things to do
Criminal record says I broke in twice
I must have done it half a dozen times
I wonder if it's too late
Should I go back and try to graduate
Life's better now then it was back then
If I was them I wouldn't let me in
Oh-oh-oh, oh, God, I know
Every memory I'm looking out the backdoor
I had the photo albums spread out on the bedroom floor
It's hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye
Every memory I'm walking out the front door
I found the photo of the person I was looking for
It's hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye
Remember the old arcade
Blew every dollar that we ever made
The cops hated us hanging out
They said somebody went and burned it down
We used to listen to the radio
Sing along with every song we know
We said someday we'd find out how it feels
To sing to more than just the steering wheel
And Kim's the first girl I kissed
I was so nervous that I nearly missed
She's had a couple of kids since then
I haven't seen her since God knows when
Oh-oh-oh, oh, God, I know
Every memory I'm looking out the backdoor
I had the photo albums spread out on the bedroom floor
It's hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye

Every memory I'm walking out the front door
I found the photo of the person I was looking for
It's hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye

If I could relive those days
I know the one thing that would never change
Every memory I'm looking out the backdoor
I had the photo albums spread out on the bedroom floor
It's hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye

Every memory I'm walking out the front door
I found the photo of the person I was looking for
It's hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye
