All that's left is an empty basement Did it even really happen? In a broke down complex on the edge of the highway But it came alive every weekend Hundred kids screaming every single syllable Doing what we can to feel something real Did it mean for you what it meant for me? It was more than a local scene It was more than a local scene Pack the drums in my best friends minivan The guitars with your girlfriend There's a VFW over an hour away The only place that said we could play on a Friday It was standing room only The half stacks blew the fuse But we don't need a PA Everybody knows the words anyway It was more than a local scene It was more than a local scene It was more than a local scene but all that's left is a memory Did it mean for you what it meant for me? My first love, my first kiss, my first fight, yeah all of it Went down at the venue went down at the venue We used to stay for all the bands I didn't care 'cause you held my hand Went down at the venue went down at the venue My first love, my first kiss, my first fight, yeah all of it Went down at the venue went down at the venue We used to stay for all the bands I didn't care 'cause you held my hand Went down at the venue It was more than a local scene It was more than a local scene It was more than a local scene but all that's left is a memory Did it mean for you what it meant for me? It was more than a local scene It was more than a local scene It was more than a local scene but all that's left is a memory Did it mean for you what it meant for me?
