(My great revival happened when I was fourteen years old. Pants I've tried entering the older girls for a while, and she finally let me come to his house. We wander, a few cigarettes and listening to Aerosmith, Rocks. Was hitting me like a ton of bricks falling. I sat there listening to it over and over and this girl is totally ruled out. I remember riding my bike back to the house where his grandmother I knew my life had changed. now I can understand something.)
