BUG'S SONG

Matt's Challenge: Your First Memory

Title: Memories

Lyrics:

There were roses in the garden My toys were on the lawn My brother rode a bicycle Watched closely by my mom I toddled off the patio I often wandered off And quickly get corralled by My sweetheart of a dog These are the details These are the memories These are the moments always cut from documentaries These are the details These are the memories That never stick I was just a baby in the backyard Learning one thing at a time The shapes and colors turning Into object ‘fore my eyes It was an early autumn evening The first I could recall I crunch the leaves beneath my feet My dad records it all These are the details These are the memories These are the moments always cut from documentaries These are the details These are the memories That never stick They called me in for dinner but Before I headed in They handed me a cup of kibble Filled up to the brim I toddled to the doghouse Thats when God, she hit record My first memory is getting all my shit rocked by a bird Can’t choose the details Can’t choose the memories Can’t choose the scars they leave so sudden, unexpectedly Can’t choose the details Can’t choose the memories I wish we weren’t so primed to focus on upsetting things Can’t choose the details Can’t choose the memories That seem to nest inside your head The awful details That form these memories But if I could instead I’d choose the details The little memories And make ‘em stick
