gladiatorseatfire	[signs of summer] "memories come flooding back in twos" [signs of summer] was written by grant when he was fifteen. in ways it is a tribute to the ataris song "in this diary". grant cannot remember if this song was written during summer or not. he does remember writing this on a tannish colored couch, in the back room of his parents' house, looking out the glass sliding door . . . putting a capo on the second fret, because starting a song on an acoustic with a-major sounded too much like fake plastic trees. "kisses on the avenue" was a line written by james. those are far better lyrics compared to the lyrics that filled that spot before. drifting back slowly your hand in mine as the memories come flooding back in twos its late in august summer begins to fade with signs of autumn slowly creeping through crowded parking lots and castles in the sand these signs of summer always point to you i can still remember those late night pizza runs and sneaking into movies just for kicks but most of all i remember you were always there your smiling face would never seem to fade kisses on the avenue and seeing a good band these signs of summer always point to you [solo] now the summer's over the autumn of our lives i dont know if i'll find my way to you but i will always remember all those summer days and so i will always remember you
