The Past I Never Had
“love and darkness and my sidearm”
This line reminds me of youthful rebelliousness
Of summer nights, out with good friends
Driving along, in a car together
Feeling as if we could live forever
No cares, no laws, no responsibilities
Just a love of life and debauchery
When I sing it, I’m there with them
This is my life, and these are my friends
It’s the wonderful past that I never had
That I can live for a minute, both good and yet bad
I’m laughing, loving, wild, and free
Until the song ends, and with it, the fantasy
Song: The South Side by Moby
