lyrics

open eyes
touch feet to floor
and wake my head up for one more

this battle that i call my friend
has summoned me to live again

there's nothing here that you would claim
you'd fix or end it in my place

i meant to save my life by 3
but drank and played our history

(chorus)
oh god
were those the good days?

wake up find a girl
and find a job that won't destroy my soul

and yes brother my collar's blue
no mother it just pays for food

there's always babies always maybes
when i call friends from the 80's

as the world it hits repeat
it slowly starts to dawn on me

(chorus)
oh god
were those the good days?
+
and all we have is now
but i see something else
oh god
were those the good days?

wake up find yourself a reason
to put both your feet upon the floor

you got no motivation
drugs and genes and situation

left you feeling so alone
just dying for a reason to leave home

my words don't get to you
the only thing that's coming through

(chorus)
oh god
were those the good days?
+
and all we have is now
but i need something else
oh god
were those the good days?
