Remember back in school when used to talk
About where we would be in ten years?
Seems like everyone took one step forward
While we took two steps back
It's not like I'm asking them to wait up, it's just
Don't you have a feel like rewinding the fucking tape?
Let's make a toast to the past
Even though we knew at heart
That it wouldn't last
I'm holding on to the memories
Do I have the best years behind me?
I feel the time is running out
We grew up, move on
And never looking back
And I guess I'm scared that my life can't go
Back to those days when we were young
And fucking careless
We had the world right in front of us
Planned out, all set
And we were young at heart
But as time goes by
I believe that the world is fucking spinning
And it tears us apart
I'm waiting on the next wave from my life
To sweep me off my feet
I can barely hold on for myself
What about my dreams?
What about my dreams?
It's the illusion of being free
It wraps up around me
It holds me down and takes the breath right of me
The hands of time is slowly tearing everything apart
Will we stand together?
Do you remember all these years ago?
Shooting stars above, we're laying down below
I remember our conversations
We lived our lives in our imaginations
The sand is pouring through the hourglass
We're stuck at the bottom with no turning back
At least for me
Cause all I can see is the memories of
Everything I wished we could be
I'm holding on to the thought of who we used to be
I used to be the one that you'd turn to
When your days were rough
We were young at heart
Careless and free
I miss the kids we used to be
I used to be the one that you'd turn to
When your days were rough
We were young at heart
Careless and free
I miss the kids we used to be
Do I have the best years of my life right behind me?
The hands of time is slowly tearing everything apart
Will we stand together?
Let us see another day
We were young and reckless
And nothing would hold us down
I miss the kids we used to be
Nothing in this world will hold us down
Nothing in this world will hold us down
