What happened to the days when we were young?
And rushing through life with open arms
We'd take another breath and fill our lungs
'Cause it was all that we needed
I could get as high as the sky lets me
And I could run as far as the ground can reach
But nothing will compare to the feeling that we're free
It was gone so fast
And there's nothing we could do to stop it
Just don't forget
That we all look back to find
The best days of our lives
So close behind
No, I don't ever wanna let it go
The innocence that we've outgrown
For the first time I realize I'm wrong
The best is yet to come
What happened to the nights that we would run
Eyes wide open and backs to the sun
And breaking hearts was just for fun
'Cause it was all that we needed
I'm never gonna settle for broken plans
Or wait for my ticket to the promise land
I'd rather die trying than pretend I'm free
It was gone so fast
And there was nothing we could do
We all look back to find
The best days of our lives
So close behind
No I don't ever wanna let it go
The innocence that we've outgrown
For the first time
I realize I'm wrong
And if we only had a second chance
We'd find a way to make this feeling last
We wouldn't have to hide behind the past and argue
I can feel the world around me change
But I still feel the same
I've been trying hard to run away from the truth
That we all look back to find
The best days of our lives
So close behind
No I don't ever wanna let it go
The innocence that we've outgrown
For the first time
I realize I'm wrong
The best is yet to come
For the first time
I realize I'm wrong
The best is yet to come
For the first time
I realize I'm wrong
The best is yet to come
