Song lyrics

Send "In This Diary" ringtones to your cell

Here in this diary I write you visions of my summer
It was the best I ever had
There were choruses and sing alongs
And that unspoken feeling of knowing
That right now is all that matters

All the nights we stayed up talking
Listening to 80's songs
And quoting lines from all those movies that we love
It still brings a smile to my face

I guess when it comes down to it
Being grown up isn't half as fun as growing up
These are the best days of our lives
The only thing that matters is just following your heart
And eventually you'll finally get it right

Breaking into hotel swimming pools
And wreaking havoc on our world
Hanging out at truck stops
Just to pass the time
The blacktop singing me to sleep

Lighting fireworks in parking lots
Illuminate the blackest nights
Cherry cokes under this moonlit summer sky
2015 Riverside, it's time to say goodbye

Get on the bus, it's time to go

Being grown up isn't half as fun as growing up
These are the best days of our lives
The only thing that matters is just following your heart
And eventually you'll finally get it right

(Get it right)

Being grown up isn't half as fun as growing up
These are the best days of our lives
The only thing that matters is just following your heart
And eventually you'll finally get it right

359 posts	well that was a very beautiful, and well thought out topic. I hope that everything works out with your friends and family. My friends all go to another school too and it's been hard not being envited to their parties and events. But I know how you feel. I also really like this song<3

197 posts	I know. Thats what me and my best friends do. Hehe, they came over my house since we dont go to school together anymore. (But maybe after next year!*) We did a video production-and used this song. Lets say we got a little out of control. Good thing we didnt break anything.

34 posts	This song is so awesome. This song is like, my Anthem. I'm always so happy and bouncy after listening to it. The Ataris write such good lyrics and i think that 'In This Diary' is one of their best songs. The lyrics match what me and my friends do perfectly. We stay up late talking about everything and anything, we listen to all the 80's punk rock and we constantly quote songs, movies, and the simpsons. and we have so much fun when doing it. this past summer was one of my best ever. I was so happy then. I love the ataris- they are awesome. Almost everything in that song we've done, haha. Hurrah for The Ataris! Cheers Peace out

197 posts	haha. same. well.....except the next time they come over they're probably going to make me run outside with a towel. If you know what I mean. since they're the only people I can relate to, I miss them.

21 posts	Again, Kris Roe is a genius. Shaking his hand would make me totally content. This song...wow. Where to start. "Being grown up isn't half as fun as growing up..these are the best days of our lives." This although a great quote, cannot compare to "The only thing that matters is just following your heart, eventually you'll finally get it right". Live by these words and depression will not be and issue..love yourself, and love life..you only live once. I'm just a kid myself, but I'm having one of my own in September...my son will be 2 by the time I can buy a drink....but you know what??? I"m still growing up, so I'm going to enjoy every second of it, because once you're all grown up....you're not at liberty to make all the mistakes you made as a kid. I love Kris Roe, will a passion...I pray he has a long, happy and prosperous life!!!!

10 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal i dont really have friends i can really relate to. they either live out of state or really don't have much in common with me. i guess my best friends are horses. when im feeling really depressed i just...go for a trail ride and everything's okay. but this song is awesome... w/ the friends i do have i do those kinds of things w/ them. sometimes...when i've had a bad day i'll sleep in the barn with my horses. i have two...their names are fancy, and taffita...they're my bffs. seriously tho...i'll go and sleep in the barn, and talk to them, and listen to actual 80's punk songs...it really relaxes me and my horses seem to like it too! so it works out i guess!this song rox!
