about

this song has meaning. its the house number to the house that is present in the cover photo. 6 friends of mine lived there in my second year of university. Amongst those friends is Andrew McClellan, who happened to photograph the cover photo. He lived there and he also was one of my closest friends from high school. I met all the friends here thru him and we are all still friends to this day. I didn't drink back then. *some facts may be embellished for "artistic license" or whatever*

lyrics

Take me back to Augusta Street
Take me back to 2010
University life’s so sweet
And I wanna live those days again

I lived just down the road / 5 minute longboard and I’m there
Don’t gotta knock just walk on in / a welcoming roar to join the partying
Pre-drinks and parties at the house at least 4 nights a week
Flip-Cup off the kitchen table while I hit Lieutenant Dan
Saint Patty’s Day was a kegger / somebody threw Marco thru the window
Andrew bodysurfed down the stairs and everything’s covered in Timber hairs
Hand-grenade flip cup with Molly, hotboxing the sauna daily
Toonie Tuesdays at 1848 and open mics at Nostalgica

Those were the days we felt so close
Those are the days, the days I cherish the most

The house was always a mess cuz none of us wanted to party less
Hitting the bars and the clubs for shows became the Ritual
Lots of friends make lots of noise and constantly wake up the boys
Mac’s room’s right by the front door and he’s the one who got it more
I saw Kalei and Abby there a whole lot more than I saw Jere
Guiri, Joel and Andrei too and none of them even lived there
I can see invisible Pasc looking pretty on the red couch
In that living room where we chilled and that time that quarter spilled
I missed the thanksgiving turkey and Willy’s lamb for Jenn G
And when Bairn met Danielle, soon we’ll hear those wedding bells
Six friends living in one house, couples then now they’re spouse
Engineers and their lucky curses – they always end up with nurses

Those were the days we felt so close
Those are the days, the days I cherish the most

Years have passed / Our distance’s grown
From Alberta to Nunavut and Nova Scotia and all over Ontario
The house is still there but we’re all gone
And the spirit of our parties lives on and on and on

Take me back to Augusta Street
Take me back to 2010
Take me back to Augusta Street
And I wanna live those days again
