Maybe things will get better
On their own
We can leave behind
The parts we've outgrown
Maybe it's perfect how it is
And no matter what you do
You don't get to write the story
You just get to read it through

Climbing up on Big Bear Mountain
Hear me shouting
Please remember us
Through empty valleys
In open canyons
Hope to heaven
You'll please remember us
Please remember us

Maybe if you don't try so hard
You'll find
You can cheat the heart
But you can't cheat time
We all try to beat the system
And it plays us all for fools
You don't get to stay forever
You just get to pass on through

Climbing it up on Big Bear Mountain
Hear me shouting
Please remember us
Through empty valleys
In open canyons
Hope to heaven
You'll please remember us
Please remember us

How much can you get
For what you're spending?
Might wanna learn how to let it go

Climbing up on Big Bear Mountain
Hear me shouting
Please remember us
Through empty valleys
In open canyons
I hope to heaven
You'll please remember us
Please remember us
