Growing up on cassette tapes
In the first grade and the old way
I would race my brothers to the car
For the long drive home
My whole world was the backyard
And a glass jar by the bonfire
Full of fireflies I would hold
Wishin' I could glow
Now it's payin' bills and Savin' rent
Pressure buildin' in my chest
I don't even know what's next
I'm just tryna do my best
Lately that's not good enough
Can't remember who I was
Oh, I miss being that young
Those golden days
Hey
It's so hard to watch it all fade
Those golden days
Hey
I keep wishing I could replay
Those golden days
Those golden days
Seventeen summer freedom
Tryna see him on the weekend
I was sneakin' over to his house
Every chance I got
Divin' in like the ocean
I was open, full of hope and
Magic moments we were floatin'
Back before our hearts were broken
Those golden days
Hey
It's so hard to watch it all fade
Those golden days
Hey
I keep wishing I could replay
Chasing all the memories
Got 'em running through my brain
I hate to see everything change
Those golden days
Hey
I keep wishing I could replay
Those golden days
Those golden days
