Tonight is the last night in this big wooden box
I'm saying goodbye to the beginning of my life
I'm saying hello to the next chapter of my life

I could say something like I'm gunna miss the memories
But they will stay with me no matter where I go
What I'm actually going to say is I'm going to miss the popcorn ceiling in my childhood bedroom
I'm going to miss the creaky floorboards that tell my mom I'm going into her room to steal socks
I'm going to miss the door to my brothers room that will never close
I'm going to miss trampoline in the backyard
I'm going to miss the broken hand rail where the actual wall is falling off
I'm going to miss the rusty tall windmill my mom would never let me climb but I always did
I'm going to miss the creek down the street
I'm going to miss sleeping in the same room as my sister
I'm going to miss the front door we never used
I'm going to miss the giant evergreen in the back yard
I'm going to miss the honey suckle bushes
I'm going to miss the fact that the wind is always stronger out here
But most of all I'm going to miss my dog
We buried him in the back yard and it's really hard to say goodbye agian
