Trophies

Tucked away high up in the rafters

All of the dreams I once chased after

Status and power

Lives inside these figurines

Without sunlight

Years really changed them

Tarnished

The varnish

That used to embrace them

Each celebration

Packed up with meaningless things

All of the pictures

And jerseys are tattered

All of the grit

And the spit

And the laughter

Is it just me

Or is time moving faster

Cause there was a time yeah

When nothing else mattered

These trophies

Born out of glory

Turned into stories

I remember it so well

Remember when Rome fell

Victory never gets old

These trophies

Remind me of cold winter mornings

Stadiums roaring

The past is encased

It can't be erased

Like headstones engraved in gold

Partners in crime

That's never changing

Telephone calls

Seem to be fading

Its all part of aging

Raising our own families

All of these pictures

And jerseys are tattered

All of the grit

And the spit

And the laughter

Is it just me

Or is time moving faster

Cause there was a time yeah

When nothing else mattered

These trophies

Born out of glory

Turned into stories

I remember it so well

Remember when Rome fell

Victory never gets old

These trophies

Remind me of cold winter mornings

Stadiums roaring

The past is encased

It can't be erased

Like headstones engraved in gold

Broken hearts

Broken bones

Broken plays
