We were kind of heroes, wicked little machines Captains and Cavalries forming empires in shade of the trees Without hesitation, kings of the forest town Holding the ocean down We're half this heavy and twice this loud So turn up the noise Just through the night Running with the boys Your hand in mine Singing every song, loving every line 'Till the night is gone Just like the old times Just like the old times Was what you made it We had our friends around All the images and sounds, super imposing to old backgrounds We used to be clumsy, hm, lost in a thousand ways Captivated by the craze, Hold your hands down my favorite days So turn up the noise Just through the night Running with the boys Your hand in mine Singing every song, loving every line 'Till the night is gone Just like the old times Just like the old times Just like the old times Suspicion rose in our head It was only underneath the beds, beds Saline eyes didn't have to hide They were always open way too wide, way too wide So turn up the noise Just through the night Running with the boys Your hand in mine Singing every song, loving every line 'Till the night is gone Just like the old times Just like the old times Just like the old times Just like the old times Just like the old times (Just like the old times) Just like the old times (We're gonna have it all) Just like the old times
