We watch the sunrise from out our bedroom windows
Red cheeks and cloudy eyes
We march on even though
The lines aren't straight, and we have no time to waste
Ninety on the interstate trying to get ahead in the race
Burned fingers and hazy skies
We are crumbling right before your eyes
You know these are the best days of our lives
Fabricate it, put on a show
We deserve an Oscar for this role
These are the best, best days of our lives
The best days of our lives
We're moving forward but we're crawling at best
We're drowned and cornered
But that's just the litmus test
Ride the highs and lows
Try to let yourself go
Live in the moment even though
You fall behind them so
We say we're fine
But we shut the doors and close the blinds
You know these are the best days of our lives
Fabricate it put on a show
We deserve an Oscar for this role
These are the best, best days of our lives
The best days of our lives
How can I look to the future
When I have to look to my feet
To make sure I don't step out of line
So I don't walk into the street
How can I look ahead of me
When all I can see
Is the back of my head standing at a dead end
Staring at the concrete
We say we're fine
But we shut the doors and close the blinds
Are these really the best days of our lives
Fabricate it, put on a show
We deserve an Oscar for this role
These are the best, best days of our lives
The best days of our lives
Best days of our lives
Best days of our lives
Best days of our lives
It's the best days
