Lyrics
(Verse 1)
Streetlights paint the sidewalk gold, late July breeze is blowin' cold
Headlights cut through the midnight air, four silhouettes with nothin' to care
Walkin' slow, laughin' loud, secrets whispered to the crowd
Sharing dreams beneath the stars, feelin' like we'd never fall apart
(Chorus)
Man, those were the days, with friends by my side
Always there to pick me up, when the world began to slide
Talkin' 'bout forever, young and invincible you see
But somethin's tuggin' at the edge, a memory that can't be
(Verse 2)
Digging through a dusty box, faded photographs in a foxed lock
There we are, smilin' wide, a time capsule I can't hide
But wait, this jacket, never mine!? these shoes, a different brand and design
The faces blur, the laughter fades, a hollowness begins to pervade
(Chorus)
Hold on, these weren't the days, these friends just figments in my head
Never walked beneath the stars, these words were never truly said
Forever was a fantasy, a world I built to set me free
But the truth is crashin' down on me, a harsh reality
(Bridge)
Where did it go, where did they disappear?
The warmth, the laughter, all held so dear
Was it a dream, a story I made up?
A comfort I craved in an empty cup?
(Chorus)
These weren't the days,
(Verse 1)
Streetlights paint the sidewalk gold, late July breeze is blowin' cold
Headlights cut through the midnight air, four silhouettes with nothin' to care
Walkin' slow, laughin' loud, secrets whispered to the crowd
Sharing dreams beneath the stars, feelin' like we'd never fall apart
(Chorus)
Man, those were the days, with friends by my side
Always there to pick me up, when the world began to slide
Talkin' 'bout forever, young and invincible you see
But somethin's tuggin' at the edge, a memory that can't be
(Verse 2)
Digging through a dusty box, faded photographs in a foxed lock
There we are, smilin' wide, a time capsule I can't hide
But wait, this jacket, never mine!? these shoes, a different brand and design
The faces blur, the laughter fades, a hollowness begins to pervade
(Chorus)
Hold on, these weren't the days, these friends just figments in my head
Never walked beneath the stars, these words were never truly said
Forever was a fantasy, a world I built to set me free
But the truth is crashin' down on me, a harsh reality
(Bridge)
Where did it go, where did they disappear?
The warmth, the laughter, all held so dear
Was it a dream, a story I made up?
A comfort I craved in an empty cup?

(Bridge)
Where did it go, where did they disappear?
The warmth, the laughter, all held so dear
Was it a dream, a story I made up?
A comfort I craved in an empty cup?
(Chorus)
These weren't the days, these friends just ghosts inside my mind
Never walked beneath the stars, the laughter I can't rewind
Forever was a fantasy, a world I built to set me free
But the truth is crashin' down on me, a harsh reality
(Outro)
Nostalgia for a life unlived, a yearning for a bond unbuilt
Maybe someday I'll find my way, to create those memories someday
But for now, I'm facin' the unknown, with a heart that aches to feel at home
(Bridge)
