LYRICS
I will always remember
The day you kissed my lips
Light as a feather
And it went just like this
No, it's never been better
Than the summer of 2002
We were only 11
But acting like grown-ups
Like we are in the present
Drinking from plastic cups
Singing, "Love is forever and ever"
Well, I guess that was true
Dancing on the hood
In the middle of the woods
On an old Mustang, where we sang
Songs with all our childhood friends
And it went like this, say
Oops
I got 99 problems singing bye, bye, bye
Hold up
If you wanna go and take a ride with me
Better hit me, baby, one more time
Paint a picture for you and me
On the days when we were young
Singing at the top of both our lungs
Now we're under the covers
Fast forward to eighteen
We are more than lovers
Yeah, we are all we need
When we're holding each other
I'm taken back to 2002
Dancing on the hood
In the middle of the woods
On an old Mustang, where we sang
Songs with all our childhood friends
And it went like this, say
Oops
I got 99 problems singing bye, bye, bye
Hold up
If you wanna go and take a ride with me
Better hit me, baby, one more time
Paint a picture for you and me
On the days when we were young
Singing at the top of both our lungs
On the day we fell in love
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh 2x
Dancing on the hood
In the middle of the woods
On an old Mustang, where we sang
Songs with all our childhood friends
Oh, now
Oops
I got 99 problems singing bye, bye, bye
Hold up
If you wanna go and take a ride with me
Better hit me, baby, one more time
Paint a picture for you and me
On the days when we were young
Singing at the top of both our lungs
On the day we fell in love
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh 4x
On the day we fell in love, love, love

人啊!總在小時候期待長大,卻又在真的長大了以後,懷念年輕時的自由自在。
幸運的我,在年輕時期沒有能夠擔憂的事情,最多就是煩惱作業沒寫完、被老師處罰之類的。
「聲嘶力竭地唱著!」對抗被管教的不自由;直到出了社會,才明白,那其實是最無憂無慮的時光。
.藍窗簾
「藍窗簾」這個詞,大概有很多不同的意義。
但我今天要說的,不是國文老師擅自解讀作者心情很憂鬱的那片藍色窗簾;而是王哲寫的《藍窗簾》。
故事述說一個女孩在大學畢業四年後,回到曾經與其他七個女孩一起住過的宿舍。
站在宿舍小小的窗前,她獨自憑弔逝去的歲月。
這扇窗,是她被分配到,屬於這間宿舍八分之一的主人之責。
曾經她是那樣細心的擦玻璃、抹窗框,甚至與宿舍的其他七人一起訂製了一片藍色的窗簾。
每個寒暑假,她都把這片窗簾帶回家,輕輕的柔淨,細細的燙平。
忽然,小窗緊閉的門打了開來,裡面是一張寫滿青春活力的臉。
她問女孩「你,找人嗎?」
女孩回答「不。看看。」
她又問女孩「看什麼?這窗簾嗎?你喜歡它嗎?」
女孩點點頭,說「你,在這屋裡住了四年嗎?」
她說「對。馬上要畢業了,真有些不捨。」
女孩問「剛來時,這窗上有窗簾嗎?」
她說「有。淡藍色的,許是高班同學留下的。」
女孩問「為甚麼不掛呢?」
她回答「早換了。幹嘛還掛那泛了黃的東西。」
.新的日子
故事裡的的女孩聽了回答後,轉身離開了。
她想著,換了,換成新的。日子不也一天天都是新的嗎?
相信這個時候的她,已經放下回不去的昨天,慢慢地展開屬於她現在的新生活。
上個假日,我和大學五個磨合6年之久的朋友們,度過了少有的悠閒旅行。
雖然彼此分散在不同的縣市,但每次見面,那個被好好接納的最真實的我,很幸福。
當我們憑弔過去,往往錯過創造回憶的當下;不如珍藏過去,順路創造明天。
-午後的烈日,映照著灑水器,那是斑斕的彩虹,和你的側臉。
