Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Old photographs, faded smiles, memories in sepia tones
Ooh, they taste still after the sound of familiar moans
Like when love was young, hearts full of hope, not broken stones
Those were the days before we ever felt alone
Those were the days we had it all figured out
Young and wild, running free without a doubt
The future stretched before us, a wide-open route
Innocence and passion before the flames went out
Those were the days we had it all figured out
Young and wild, running free without a doubt
The future stretched before us, a wide-open route
Innocence and passion before the flames went out
Those were the days we had it all figured out
Young and wild, running free without a doubt
The future stretched before us, a wide-open route
Innocence and passion before the flames went out
Remember those summer nights
Cruising with the windows down
The radio blasting the beat of our hometown
We were invincible with nothing to hold us down
But time changes everything, turns smiles into frowns
You're running this summer block where we used to hang
Playing ball, chasing dreams, never thought we'd change
But life throws curveballs, tests are shining a ring
Now we're just shadows of who we were, it's a shame
But I won't forget those days, the laughter and the tears
The bonds we forged, the love that conquered fears
Those were the days when our futures were clear
Now we're just memories fading year after year
Those were the days we had it all figured out
Young and wild, running free without a doubt
The future stretched before us, a wide-open route
Innocence and passion before the flames went out
Those were the days we had it all figured out
Young and wild, running free without a doubt
The future stretched before us, a wide-open route
Innocence and passion before the flames went out
Sometimes I close my eyes and try to rewind
Back to the simplicity where love was truly kind
But the clock keeps ticking, leaving the past behind
Those were the days forever etched in my mind
Those were the days we had it all figured out
Young and wild, running free without a doubt
The future stretched before us, a wide-open route
Innocence and passion before the flames went out
Those were the days when love was young and new
We thought it would last forever, me and you
But time took its toll and tore us in two
Now all I'm left with are memories of you
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Those were the days, mm-hmm, yeah
The days
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh
