Look where we are
We used to be the rockstars
Who never thought of no harm
'Til this thing we call life stopped gleamin'
I wish there was a way to go back dreamin'
Remembering gets so hard
When time is moving so fast
Wish there was a way to know what we're in
The good old days before we all just leave 'em
I tried getting rid of the pain
I tried to make it go away
But it probably won't change
Always thinking 'bout my own worries
Remеmber back when we had no worriеs
Now life just ain't hittin' the same
I sit here missing
Reminiscing 'bout innocent old days
When I was afraid of nobody
Now I'm afraid of being a nobody
Don't wanna leave my bed
I'll just stay in, never get it together
'Cause the voices in my head
They keep saying it'll never get better
Look where we are
We used to be the rockstars
Who never thought of no harm
'Til this thing we call life stopped gleamin'
I wish there was a way to go back dreamin'
Remembering gets so hard
When time is moving so fast
Wish there was a way to know what we're in
The good old days before we all just leave 'em
Sometimes I got this kinda sting that's right inside my chest
It's only purpose is convincing me that I'm a mess
And even though it's always been an uninvited guest
It finds a way in nonetheless, wish I could change my address
And you know, just be somebody else for a couple of days
Although I'm pretty sure we all feel the same kind of way
'Cause if you think about it
Aren't we all sat in a place where we look back on better days
And wish they weren't so far away?
I wish that I could just go back and be the way I was
I wish I'd still not give a damn 'bout how I come across
I wish the way I saw myself had never gotten lost
And all the worries, all the thoughts, all the thinking, all the parts
So exhausting, always caught up inside my doubts and flaws
And I'ma count them all
Soembody catch me, I'm 'bout to fall
Yeah, I'm 'bout to fall
Can we press pause
Or do a restart and be who we are?
We used to be the rockstars
Who never thought of no harm
'Til this thing we call life stopped gleamin'
I wish there was a way to go back dreamin'
Remembering gets so hard
When time is moving so fast
Wish there was a way to know what we're in
The good old days before we all just leave 'em
We used to be the rockstars (Didn't we?)
We used to be the rockstars (Didn't we?)
We used to be the rockstars
We used to be the rockstars
Remembering gets so hard
When time is moving so fast
Wish there was a way to know what we're in
The good old days before we all just leave 'em
