No Picture mat Wanna Be	#1 by mat bar at Aug 14, 2006 at 12:11 PM EST
	um life. i love this song, it's amazing. it's actually relatable to a lot of situations.

No Picture Bobby Wanna Be	#2 by Bobby Warneke at Sep 25, 2006 at 8:18 PM EST
	Justin said it's about him and his friends. It's like, Make Out Kids is when they were younger; this song is about when they got older.

No Picture Dr. Average	#3 by Dr. Funkinstein at Oct 3, 2006 at 7:59 AM EST
	I think it's about a little brother... not a son. "do you still believe in the stories told to you by my friends and i when you were four years old" Not something you would do to your son it seems.

No Picture Goat Average	#4 by Goat Screwer at Oct 24, 2006 at 11:41 AM EST
	Like I said, a response to "A-OK" (which was written about his dad, presumably from Justin's perspective). I'd like to go deeper with this, but honestly, the growth lyrically from that song to this one almost makes it impossible. There's not a whole lot to say about A-OK other than the fact that Justin wrote it to tell his dad that, ultimately, he's fine.

No Picture Aleksandar Average	#5 by Aleksandar Radošević at Dec 10, 2006 at 11:52 PM EST
	it should be Do you still believe in the stories told TO you BY my friends and I When you were four years old

No Picture chris Average	#6 by chris ovari at Dec 28, 2006 at 11:31 PM EST
	Amazing song, possibly my favourite from CTTM

No Picture Phillip Average	#7 by Phillip Nguyen at Apr 7, 2007 at 2:46 AM EST
	"I was nervous from the start That our muscles might tear us apart (Are muscles tearing us apart?) From the words that carve our lives To the words that take us by surprise (I was never taken by surprise) From the sounds that disappear To the changes we'd begin to fear (I can hear you clearly) One day i'll fail to breathe And all you'll have are memories (All we are are memories)..." ^ This whole part is simply beautiful, especially the drum part, it just gives me the chills everytime i listen to it... deep lyrics too lol @ the 2x "are" in "All we ARE ARE memories..."

No Picture sebastian Professional	#8 by sebastian at Apr 9, 2007 at 1:28 PM EST
	Oh yeah, I wanted to say that the end of this song is so amazing. The drums are just incredible. I love mcs lyrics so much they're adorable and just plain GOOD. even out of context. they're great to quote. "One day I'll fail to breathe and all you'll have are memories. All we are are memories."

No Picture Ben Rhythm Player	#9 by Ben Jammin at Apr 19, 2007 at 1:45 PM EST
	it's about justin from his dad's perspective. if you all were real MCS fans, you would know.

No Picture julian Average	#10 by julian at May 7, 2007 at 3:27 PM EST
	one day i'll fail to breathe and all you'll have are memories deep sounds like its about death...

No Picture Elizabeth Wanna Be	#11 by Elizabeth Greer at Jul 12, 2007 at 7:18 AM EST
	It's: "How it got so cold, that words just froze. We had to wait 'til summer to find out what was said one of the best times that we had"
