2:38 Video (MV)

Couple hundred dollars in my pocket
Couple thousand miles from home
Pulled up with everything we own and no place to go
Found ourselves a small apartment, just a place to make our beds
Wrote down every thought that I ever had
Played guitar til my fingers bled
And we knew the stakes were high
Some days we laughed, some days we cried
Chasing dreams and wasting time
These were the best days of our lives
It's 2:38 in the morning, no clarity in my mind
If I could regulate all the chemicals, maybe I could get some sleep at night
Working nine to five just to pass the time and pay all the debts that I owe
Bear my days and grin, what I wouldn't give to hear our song on the radio
And we knew the stakes were high
Some days we laughed, some days we cried
Chasing dreams and wasting time
These were the best days of our lives
And the times that I recall when we had nothing at all
Writing songs with my best friends
This is how the story begins
It's not the destination that you are looking for
The journey never ends and we must carry the torch
The notes from my fingers, the words from my mouth
The songs write me as they please, not the other way around
Is it worth it? Would you change it
Would you do it over if you could
There's a feeling that you have when you do much more than you thought you would
Now the years are disappearing just right from underneath my feet
Never hold back, never give in to the lies your fears make you believe
And we knew the stakes were high
Some days we laughed, some days we cried
Chasing dreams and wasting time
These were the best days of our lives
