Lyrics

[VERSE 1]
We were burning daylight slow
Letting summer hum its tune through the screen‑door glow
Didn’t think too hard about tomorrow
Just a couple of kids with time we didn’t know we’d borrowed
Bare feet on the dashboard, radio low
Talking ‘bout nothing like it mattered most

[PRE-CHORUS]
Funny how the world keeps turning
Even when you’re sure it won’t

[CHORUS]
Maybe these are the good ol’ days
Right here, right now, in the mess we’ve made
Before the stories get polished, before the memories fade
Before we look back wishing we’d held on a little more brave
Yeah, maybe we’re standing in the good ol’ days
Before we even know

[VERSE 2]
Coffee cooling on the counter
Your boots by the door from the night before
We kept saying life would start later
Never saw the magic hiding in the everyday chores
Laughing at the bills on the table
Saying “one day we’ll have it all” like we were able

[PRE-CHORUS]
But time’s a quiet thief
Stealing moments while we breathe

[CHORUS]
Maybe these are the good ol’ days
Right here, right now, in the mess we’ve made
Before the stories get polished, before the memories fade
Before we look back wishing we’d held on a little more brave
Yeah, maybe we’re standing in the good ol’ days
Before we even know

[VERSE 3]
Now the nights feel a little shorter
And the porch light hits your face in a softer way
We’ve got a few more lines around our laughter
But the love in the cracks is something I’d never trade
And I catch myself freezing the moment
Like I finally learned how fast life goes when you’re in it

[PRE-CHORUS]
If tomorrow takes us somewhere new
I hope we remember this view

[BRIDGE]
One day we’ll swear the summers lasted longer
That the fights were smaller
That we were younger than we felt
And braver than we knew
And when we tell the story
I hope we say we saw it while it was true

[FINAL CHORUS]
‘Cause maybe these are the good ol’ days
Right here, right now, before they slip away
Let’s hold this moment gentle, let’s make it stay
Let’s not wait ‘til it’s gone to call it great
Yeah… maybe we’re already living the good ol’ days
And they’re happening in plain sight too
