In the house I grew up in
My room in the basement
The hours turning
To years we've spent
Remember Chris in the back yard
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
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 at

Behind me
Sometimes it reminds me
Of when we, we used to
Belong here

Every memory comes on
When I hear that old song
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 in 1712
Acadia road fell
They tore the house down

Every memory comes on
When I hear that old song
We used to sing
With the words all wrong
I remember the faces
And familiar places
And I sing along
But Acadia is gone
Acadia is gone

In the house I grew up in
Remember the faces
When Andrew and I wrecked
Each other's cars and

Acadia is, Acadia is gone

    *Remember when 1712 Acadia Road fell

    He's reminiscing about when he was growing up, all the memories he had. When his old house went down, all the memories he had there went with it.

    General Comment:this song is very touching to me. its about change and growing up.
    as marianastrenchfan said this song makes me scared for the future also.

    i think the lyrics "sometimes it remindes me of when we, we used to
    belong hear." sums up the meaning of the song for me.

    You grow up, and out of things, and when you see a picture or something, all
    the memories flood back. you wish those days were here again, but you know that
    things can never be like that again.

    very touching, one of my favourite mtrench songs.

    General Comment:Such a good song, <3


    Also, I googled 1712 Acadia Road (Yes, road, not the country, as I was thinking also.)
    It's in Vancouver, British Columbia, btw.

    He's talking about how they tore his old house down, and there were lots of memories there.
