Story Behind The Song
I saw a picture of some friends at someones house. And the group was big back when the picture was taken, but over time everyone naturally went their separate ways, got married, started their own lives and probably new groups of friends. It's okay. It happens. It's about being a bit sad, but content at the same time. Grateful.
Song Description
It's about reflecting back on a group of great friends who have all gone their separate ways, feeling a little sorrow for that, but also feeling content with the good times had and still being with the person you love.

Lyrics
Living in the moment that's now yesterday
I thought that it would be all of us every summer
But now that I'm looking back I can see we were lucky to have so much time
Nothing so good could last forever
And sleeping on the beach we were all so crazy
Playing in the fire jumping over the flames
And giving you my blanket while the sun rose over all of us
Playing in the sand carving out all our names
I know we've gone
From ten down to two
And we've scattered so far
But I'm lucky to still have you
And these memories
Although they make me sad there's nothing that I can do
I am keeping them and you
It's all I need to know now
Summers on a boat sleeping out in the sunshine
Winters on a mountain drinking nothing but beer
And I kept your jacket so you'd have to come and take it back from me
And all the while people started to disappear
And a wedding in the spring that came as no surprise
Everybody's got to go and find their own way
And watching as our "family" two by two they left to make their own
Never got to say some things I wanted to say
But it's okay
I know we've gone
From ten down to two
And we've scattered so far
But I'm lucky to still have you
And these memories
Although they make me sad there's nothing that I can do
I am keeping them and you
I know we've gone
From ten down to two
And we've scattered so far
But I'm lucky to still have you
And these memories
Although they make me sad there's nothing that I can do
I am keeping them and you
It's all I need to know now
All I need to know now
It is all I really need to know right now
