Lyrics
2011
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I miss the days when we were young and not too wise
Only doing what felt right
With open hearts and open eyes
I miss the days before I second guessed my life
Wasn't always asking why
I remember what it's like
Maybe it's just too late for the old me
Maybe there's no point in holding on to something closely
I should let it go
I should let it fade
'Cause nothing lasts forever
And nothing stays the same
Why do we complicate it?
Why do we get so jaded?
Can we just go back, go back to 2011?
(Can we go back?)
Why do we ruin our dreams?
Why do we sabotage things?
Can we just go back, go back to 2011?
(Can we go back to 2011?)
I miss the days when we could live outside our heads
Before we were all nervous wrecks
But that's the thing about regret
We used to talk about our lives
And all the things we didn't have
We fantasized about the future
But now we dream about the past
Maybe it's just too late for the old me
Maybe there's no point in holding on to something closely
I should let it go (go)
I should let it fade (fade)
'Cause nothing lasts forever
And nothing stays the same
Why do we complicate it?
Why do we get so jaded?
Can we just go back, go back to 2011?
(Can we go back?)
Why do we ruin our dreams?
Why do we sabotage things?
Can we just go back, go back to 2011? (2011)
To 2011
Back to the days when the days were better
Back to the days when the days were better
Back to the days when the days were better
Back to the days when the days were better
Back to the days when the days were better
(Back to the days when the days were better)
Back to the days when the days were better
(Back to the days when the days were better)
Back to the days when the days were better
(Back to the days when the days were better)
Back to the days when the days were better
(Back to the days when the days were better)
