Those Days Are Gone

I drove past the old street today. Same trees, same houses, different me. I sat in the car for a while Just looking at what used to be. The kids we were had no idea how fast The world would learn to move without us. I don't want it back, I just wanna remember That it was real, That we were real. Those days are gone, But they live in everything I am. Those days are gone, And I'm grateful that they happened. I carry them with me Like a light I keep inside. Those days are gone, Mm, But they never really died. We used to stay up all night Talking 'bout everything and nothing. We thought we had all the time. We didn't know time had other plans. The faces change, the places fade, But something stays that nothing takes away. I don't want it back, I just wanna remember That it was real, That we were real. Those days are gone, But they live in everything I am. Those days are gone, And I'm grateful that they happened. I carry them with me like a Light I keep inside. Those days are gone, Mm, but they never really Died. Those days are gone, And the road ahead is long. Those days are gone, But they made me strong. I look back with a smile now, Not with pain. Those days are gone, Mm, I'd live them all again.
