The Good Old Days

Cheap apartment, everybody's here
Somebody's laughing, spilling half a beer
Coats in a pile and the string lights low
Same five songs on repeat from a year ago
Down on the floor 'cause we're always short a chair
Splitting cold pizza, there's just enough to share
Nothing's going on, that's the point of it all
Just the sound of the people I love down the hall

And it hit me out of nowhere — I'll be homesick for tonight
One day I'd give just about anything to do this one more time

So this is it, these are the good old days
The ones I'll be looking back on in twenty years
The glow that I won't see until it fades
So let me love it while I'm here
Don't let me miss a second, standing right inside it
These are the good old days

One day this kitchen's just a place I used to know
Somebody's lease is up, somebody's got to go
The Fridays get further apart, the calls get old
And a photo on a phone is all we get to hold
Nobody tells you when you're in the middle of the best
You don't feel what it was till it's just like the rest
So I'm holding onto all of it, every voice down the hall
Before it all slips through my hands, before we lose it all

And it hits me out of nowhere — I'll be homesick for tonight
One day I'd give the world and more to do this one more time

So this is it, these are the good old days
The ones I'll be looking back on in twenty years
The glow that I won't see until it fades
So let me love it while I'm here
Don't let me miss a second, standing right inside it
These are the good old days

Take the picture, hold the toast a little too long
Play it back in your head before the moment's gone
We are never gonna be this young, this loud, this free
So look around, love — this is the memory

So this is it, these are the good old days
The ones I'll be looking back on in twenty years
The glow that I won't see until it fades
So let me love it while I'm here
Don't let me miss a second, standing right inside it
These are the good old days

These are the good old days
These are the good old days
Don't let me miss a second, standing right inside it
These are the good old days
