Acadia Lyrics
Marianas Trench
Lyrics
In the house I grew up in
My room in the basement
The hours turning to years we spent
Remember Chris in the backyard
Laughing so damn hard
And no one knew why
But the rest is forgotten
Behind me
Sometimes it reminds me
Of when we, we used to
Belong here
Every memory comes on
When I hear that old song that we used to sing
With the words all wrong
I remember the faces
And familiar places
And I sing along but Acadia is gone
Ran out of gas on the highway
We walked there and I gave
Drunken speeches on sobriety
Now we've all moved away and
Somehow became men
But I remember
Where it began
That's behind me
Sometimes it reminds me
Of when we, we used to belong here
Every memory comes on
When I hear that old song that we
Used to sing with the words all wrong
I remember the faces and familiar places
And I sing along but Acadia is gone
Remember when 1712 Acadia Road fell
They tore the house down
Every memory comes on
When I hear that old song that we
Used to sing with the words all wrong
I remember the faces and familiar places
And I sing along but Acadia is gone
Remember, behind me
Sometimes it reminds me (Acadia is gone)
Remember, behind me
Sometimes it reminds me (In the house I grew up in)
Remember, behind me (Remember the faces)
Sometimes it reminds me (Somehow we became men)
Remember, behind me
Sometimes it reminds me (We used to belong here)
Acadia is... Acadia is gone
