I remember playing games
Wishing we were older then
We were so much younger then
Those were the days
I remember holding hands
Thinking it would never end
We were so in love back then
Those were the days
Those were the days of innocence and we were so naive
You would lay down in the grass
So tangled up in me
Always wasn’t just a word
But something to believe
We had our entire lives to waste
Those were the days
Oh oh oh
Those were the days
Time was so much slower then
Seven turned to seventeen
Somewhere in the in between
Those were the days
Back before we realized
Hearts was small and fragile things
We said I do with jelly rings
Those were the days
Those were the days of innocence and we were so naive
You would lay down in the grass
So tangled up in me
Always wasn’t just a word
But something to believe
We had our entire lives to waste
Those were the days
Oh oh oh
Those were the days
I still have the note you wrote
Said: I miss you darling, be back soon
Four pictures from a photobooth
You were laughing and I was kissing you, kissing you
And God I’m missing you
Nothing ever stays the same
Glad we didn’t know it then
‘Cause we were so much younger then
Those were the days of innocence and we were so naive
You would lay down in the grass
So tangled up in me
Always wasn’t just a word
But something to believe
I still miss you in a thousand ways
Oh, those were the days
Oh oh oh
Those were the days
Oh oh oh
Those were the days
Oh oh oh
Those were the days
