My mother told me "Don´t you wait for better times
You´ll never find them if you´re standing in the line
Always remember how to live, not just survive"

And even on my worst nights, I trust that I´ll be fine

´Cause, oh
Some day when I grow old
With most of my story told
I´ll look at the life I made and say

Let me tell you ´bout the good old days
Every memory until this day
Yeah, I´m talkin´ ´bout the late nights, the good times, the mess that I made
Those were the good old days, the good old days

Too many people in this world that I can´t please
Too many versions of myself that I could be
I don´t wanna let my fear decide what´s best for me

Before I lose control, I´ma take the drivers seat

´Cause, oh
Some day when I grow old
With most of my story told
I´ll look at the life I made and say

Let me tell you ´bout the good old days
Every memory until this day
Yeah, I´m talkin´ ´bout the late nights, the good times, the mess that I made
Those were the good old days
Let me tell you ´bout my first heartbreak
I don´t want to put the tears away
Yeah, I´m talking ´bout the joy texts, the regrets, the dreams that I chased
Those were the good old days, the good old days

I know, I know these are the good old days
I know, I know these are the good old days
I know, I know these are the good old days
Those were the good  oh, these are the good old days
