Lyrics
[intro]
[Verse]
It's 2 AM, staring at the old version of me that only I can see,
Miss the thrill of first dates and awkward goodbyes,
Back when love was hot and filled with butterflies.
I miss me (i miss me)
Lost touch with old friends, we all grew apart,
We chased different dreams, and some chased nothing at all. (nothing at all)
Wasted on reckless nights, perkies, and empty bottles,
Swear I still taste the cheap beer and bad decisions, right? (duh)
[Chorus]
I'm missing everything, like polaroids with my day 1, (that was you)
Fading memories of what we've done,
All the places we swore we'd go,
Now just realizing those were the times i wish i never let go (now they're gone)
I'm missing everything, it's slipping through my hands,
Nothing I can do but chase nostalgia and cry about the fact that old me is dead and so are you, (we both are)
But I'll keep holding on to who I used to be,
A kid with big dreams, lost in reverie. (yeah)
[Verse]
Used to laugh at the dumbest things,
Now it's bills and deadlines, and what tomorrow brings,
Where'd the heartbreak go? The midnight drives?
Now it's just traffic and nine to five (nine to five)
Still got that hoodie from high school thats filled with holes just like my heart when i put it in your hands, (how could you?)
It smells like old cologne, teenage love and empty promises, my parents tried to warn me, but id run away with you right now if i could go back,
Skipped class, first loves, sneaking out after dark,
Now it's just "remember when?" and hearts bleeding suffering sadness
[Chorus]
I'm missing everything, like polaroids with my day 1, (that was you)
Fading memories of what we've done,
All the places we swore we'd go,
Now just realizing those were the times i wish i never let go (now they're gone)
I'm missing everything, it's slipping through my hands,
Nothing I can do but chase nostalgia and cry about the fact that old me is dead and so are you, (we both are)
But I'll keep holding on to who I used to be,
A kid with big dreams, lost in reverie. (yeah)
[Bridge]
We were invincible, felt like gods in our hometown,
Now we're just faces in the crowd, feeling run-down,
I miss the cold air in those fearless nights,
Now it's all red tape and red flags, dating apps, and girls I wish i never had
But maybe it's okay, to miss and to mourn,
To feel the ache of things we can't return,
We were just kids, trying to figure it all out,
And maybe this sadness is what growing up's about.
[Outro]
I'm missing everything, the past and the pain,
But I wouldn't trade the memories, they keep me sane.
I'll hold onto the laughter, the tears, and the scars,
Because they're all a part of who we are.
I'm missing everything, but I'll find my way,
Through the echoes of yesterday, to a brighter day.
