Lyrics
Best Days
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.
So much harder to be honest
With yourself at twenty-something
Wish I knew what I'm becoming
And felt the ground while I was on it
Hoping, waiting on a moment
Not knowing if it's coming or it's going
What if my best days are the days I've left behind?
And what if the rest stays the same for all my life?
I'm running with my eyes closed, so it goes
You live and then you die
But the hardest pill to swallow is the meantime
Are the best days just the ones that we survive?
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh (ah, ah)
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
If I had known to feel the fire (fire)
I would've thrown my arms up higher (higher)
Would've held on a little tighter
'Cause you don't know a thing you miss 'til it's behind you
What if my best days are the days I've left behind?
And what if the rest stays the same for all my life?
I'm running with my eyes closed, so it goes
You live and then you die
But the hardest pill to swallow is the meantime
Are the best days just the ones that we survive?
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh (ah, ah)
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
What if my best days are the days I've left behind?
And what if the rest stays the same for all my life?
What if the best days are the days I've left behind?
And what if the rest stays the same for all my life?
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh (ah, ah)
Yeah, yeah, ooh
