Cover art for The Past lyrics by Never Shout Never

only three comments on this? makes me kind of sad. i mean, i love this song so much. its so powerful and you can tell the emotion he has when he's singing it i agree with what alpal722 says, he's raised in a town he wants to escape so badly, i doubt because he was raised with a terrible childhood or anything, but this is cry to be desperately let out of this town. He needs to leave in order to "get the things that i want, the things that i need" its so emotional and every time i ear it i get really sad because i personally am going through the same thing. i love this song, its my favorite of all of his.
