In This Diary - The Ataris Lyrics

[nmoravec1]

I'm in high school in 2003 again!



[Futur3Pr0mQu33n]

I told my friend how I couldn't wait to be 18 and he said "Don't. Cherish your youth."

Right after that we listened to this song. He's right, being grown up isn't half as fun as growing up =)

[spiders8874]

cool video!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[bronsonbaker]

This song is a fucking lyrical masterpiece.. I can't listen to this song without thinking of being best friends with people I never see, playing tag in abandoned buildings, running from the cops for breaking into swimming pools, my hometown's ice cream parlor.. So fucking much. The message is beautiful, but sad.

[fruitrolluplol]

Lol thanks Mr.Jamriska <3

[Superwombat6]

Every time I hear this song, it carries more and more meaning. As an over-stressed senior in high school, this song reminds me that, even when the workload makes me feel hopeless, "The only thing that matters is just following your heart, and eventually you'll finally get it right." This song inspires me to keep chasing my dreams, even when the road to reach them is a rough one.

[lefreakful]

My teenage years were all about the Ataris... can't believe this album is almost 10 years old... Brings me back to when I was 17 years old, used my dirty old high top Chucks and had so much fun. Good times !!!

[Kriankay]

Most the memories I have associated with this song are from the summer of 2004, when I was going into my junior year.

[spo0o0ky]

This song makes me depressed as fucking hell. I love it.

I miss the good old days when I was in fourth grade. The summers I used to have when I was a kid were a blast. Kids outside all the time, going camping, staying out late at night with friends, going to birthday parties...I could go on. My teenage years have been nothing but fucking hell. Sucks to be turning 16 knowing that your best days are already behind you... T_T

[PaytonDorothy]

Today is my graduation and this song sums up everything I'm feeling. Class of 2011; We Run It! :D

[Persian8iran]

[NN636]

[Edorenel]

Wow! Man, I love The Ataris. xD I loved them throughout my high school years...and oh, the summers back in those days. They were so damn fun and being young and so free... They're memories I'll never forget. ^_^

[angelinad1993]

[rplover1997]

[rplover1997]

I love this song.... so tru.... so tru. lead singer is soooo hot too! :)

[webcomix]

Like practically every other comment here, I have to admit that this song conjures up about a thousand memories of goofing off and tearing around as a young teenager. Lock-ins and moshpits, that's what it's about

[zannapics]

2015 Riverside...it's time to say GOODBYE!

[dawndawn992]

This reminds me of 3rd grade camp and how they used this song for the video to remind us of the trip! I'm in 8th grade now and I went all this time not knowing this songs name or who it was by!!! But every so often it would pop up in my head but the only words I knew "these are the best days of our lives". So glad I've found it!!!

[caramip]

@dawndawn992 Man you're lucky.... I discovered the Ataris in eights grade and I'm almost a junior now. You have so many good days ahead of you. Enjoy them and don't try to grow up too fast. It really is true "being grown up is only half as fun as growing up."

[dawndawn992]

@caramip Yeah I've been wasting most of my time trying to shape out to what others want me to be and always think about the feature instead of what's happening in the present. I've been listening to songs like this that kept me going when I was little and I'm realizing I should just have fun and enjoy myself. I wish more music these days were like this with an actual good meaning.. Thanks too! You can still goof off and enjoy yourself too!:)

[jruch314]

@caramip i agree, i am 23 and i miss my child hood :( lol as much as some of it sucked it saddens me that it is gone...

[maryann2573]

2 people dont know who the Ataris were... they only know Jonas Brothers.

[berrygirl6]

awww man this song and this entire album reminds me of summer 2005. damn that was forever ago..

[Shredda54]

[richardmorrison78]

[GinjabreadMann]

i heard this song in the summer of like 05 and have been looking for it since and now i found it accidentally. it was on the radio and full of static so i couldnt really make it out, but i could tell that i liked it. i remember where i was and what i was doing, i was driving home one night with the windows down and it was a hot nc night. ohh the memories,, glad i found this

[atarispunx]

i miss all my best freinds this is our song..all of our great memory will alwez in my mind

[thejokaguy]

Actually he didnt get anything wrong good job

[meganjune22]

you got the lyrics wrong at the beginning.

"and that unspoken feeling of knowing that right now is all that matters."

[caramip]

I'm sorry but your mistaken, these are the lyrics from the album booklet. Those are some pretty cool lyrics though

[WuHoo21]

@caramip just because it's in the booklet doesn't mean it's right.

[shinygurl76]

@WuHoo21 i think that is the most retarded thing i've heard this morning ty for the laugh

[lois2591]

@shinygurl76 Its true..some songs you listen to and read along with the lyrics, the booklet is wrong. Avenged Sevenfold- Nightmare booklet is off on a few songs

[Braxx11]

@caramip Um, nah. Meganjune22 has it right.

[XxScreamxX1]

good song, and good vid !:)
