Analysis of Miss u

Sonja Salinas 1988 (Alice)



all the wild times we had, taking care of each other
all the times we did dirt and never getting caught
all the memories of us fucking up and running for cover
all the time-all the times in the world to change we thought

all those days of having no money and had to do licks
all those times we got drunk and had so much fun
i fucking wish in those moments i took more picks
but all those crazy and awesome times r done

all those memories i have i can't share with anyone but u
those precious MEMORIES die, broken heatedly with u
i can't comprehend y i can't talk or ask u what to do
all the moment's i wanted to forget r the ones i don't want to lose.
