That stupid little outfit that my mamma made me wear

Acknowledging the passage of time but finding solace in the ability to look back.
The places I have been, the friends that I have made
Reflecting on the places visited and friendships formed over time.
This life that we're in, with memories that fade
Contemplating life's transient nature with memories that gradually fade.
My family I love and those that look down from above
Expressing love for family and acknowledging those watching from above, likely referring to deceased loved ones.
Yeah that's right, this is my life, in an old photograph

Walkin' by the water of a Venice canal

Crazy nights out on the town at University

Don't wanna have any doubt, when I think about
Desiring certainty and clarity when thinking about past experiences.
