I wish somebody would have told me babe Some day, these will be the good old days All the love you won't forget And all these reckless nights you won't regret Someday soon, your whole life's gonna change You'll miss the magic of these good old days I was thinking about the band I was thinking about the fans We were underground Loaded merch in that 12-passenger van In a small club in Minnesota And the snow outside of 1st Ave I just wanted my name in a star Now look at where we at Still growing up, still growing up I'd be laying in my bed and dream about what I'd become Couldn't wait to get older, couldn't wait to be someone Now that I'm here, wishing I was still young Those good old days I wish somebody would have told me babe That some day, these will be the good old days All the love you won't forget And all these reckless nights you won't regret 'Cause someday soon, your whole life's gonna change You'll miss the magic of the good old days Wish I didn't think I had the answers Wish I didn't drink all of that glass first Wish I made it to homecoming Got up the courage to ask her Wish I would've gotten out of my shell Wish I put the bottle back on that shelf Wish I wouldn't have worry about what other people thought And felt comfortable in myself Rooftop open and the stars above Moment frozen, sneaking out, and falling in love Me, you and that futon, we'd just begun On the grass, dreaming, figuring out who I was Those good old days I wish somebody would have told me babe That some day, these will be the good old days All the love you won't forget And all these reckless nights you won't regret 'Cause someday soon, your whole life's gonna change You'll miss the magic of the good old days Never thought we'd get old, maybe we're still young Maybe we always look back and think it was better than it was Maybe these are the moments Maybe I've been missing what it's about Been scared of the future, thinking about the past While missing out on now We've come so far, I guess I'm proud And I ain't worried about the wrinkles around my smile I've got some scars, I've been around I've felt some pain, I've seen some things, but I'm here now Those good old days You don't know, what you've got Till it goes, till it's gone You don't know, what you've got Till it goes, till it's gone I wish somebody would have told me babe Some day, these will be the good old days All the love you won't forget And all these reckless nights you won't regret Someday soon, your whole life's gonna change You'll miss the magic of these good old days
