Lyrics:
[VERSE 1]
I swear I saw you just last week
You said it’s been a year I think
Where did all the days go in between
I’m scared of getting older now
It’s hard to see what’s fading out
But John skips all the parties to tuck his kid in

[PRE CHORUS]
What’s the meaning of these struggles
Why am I alone again
My buddies told me to shut up
And just drink my beer instead
I can’t help but think of dying
And if it’s just us at the end
Then we’re all alone together
That’s the meaning of a friend

[CHORUS]
I miss the old days when our friends
Would drive around with no reason
Talking about how she left me
Those were the nights that I needed
We sang those songs on the highway
We sat too long in the driveway
Talking about how she left me
Those were the nights that I needed

[VERSE 2]
Lord knows that
I’ve been weak
I stay up late
To cry and sing
Where did all the days
Go in between?

[PRE CHORUS]
What’s the meaning of these struggles
Why am I alone again
My buddies told me to shut up
And just drink my beer instead
I can’t help but think of dying
And if it’s just us at the end
Then we’re all alone together
That’s the meaning of a friend

[CHORUS]
I miss the old days when our friends
Would drive around with no reason
Talking about how she left me
Those were the nights that I needed
We sang those songs on the highway
We sat too long in the driveway
Talking about how she left me
Those were the nights that I needed
Those were the nights that I needed
Those were the nights that I needed

[Outro]
I just wanna be 16 again
With my old friends
Taking pictures for the moments that I'll forget
Fall in love looking up but we always land
I just wanna be 18 again
When highschool ends
All the girls that still hate me but say we're friends
Spend every night with the boys before were men
I just wanna be 19 again
Still stuck in bed
Skipping class writing songs cause it helps my head
Now I only see my ex on the internet
I just wanna be 20 again
With you instead
Hope it never ends
Hope it never ends

Man im 26 years old and married with kids and I see the boys less and less every year, I feel every bit of this song. You made a song for the kids who grew up to fast and wish they could go back but they can't. Makes you look back on the good times though.

[ajc]

Absolute heartbreaker 💔 Really makes me miss all the homies

[matthew_herlihy]

God this song hits me too hard.

I just had my second friend get married and another get engaged. Ten years ago, we were all 21, living our best lives doing crazy shit all the time together. Now we only see each other maybe once or twice a year, and even though it feels great picking up back where we left off, it still doesn't help ease the times between seeing them. I get that life moves on, but it doesn't mean it hurts any less.

If you're still young, cherish it while you can because those days go by too quickly. Being an adult sucks, but you still have to find other ways to fill your time that just don't feel the same, but it is what it is.

[maxthesurvival]

No words can tell you how much this song is healing to me.
I always knew that I should cherish the moments I got with my friends, but I do still miss the days we walked 10 miles back home at night just for fun.
This song reminds me how happy I was, and makes me happy that I didn't take that for granted. ❤

Swear on my Life this is going to BLOW UP JUST YOU WAIT

[divyanshkathait]

I don't know who you are. This is the first song I heard from you. Made me cry at 3AM in office doing night shift. When(and not if) you go big, I'll proudly say I've heard your songs before you were famous.

[jessewalker]

This deserves so many more views than 83k, I'll be listening every day!

[thelost]

Gawd!! This song hits hard, I just got married a couple of months back, hit a road trip with my buddies one month prior to my wedding, now we hardly meet like we used to during the weekends play poker, play PS, troll each other, drink till morning. Thank you for this beautiful song. Cheers...this is life and it is what it is

[TyetyeMeyer]

This shits about to blow up, happy to be here before it happens ❤️

[risea.gainst]

makes me wish i had a group of friends when i was that age, this song makes me nostalgic for something i did not live

[jeepinscott]

Real people found this song cus they truly needed it…. Thank you.

[cjKin]

My buddies bringing their kids to the party and our circle keep on growing.

[inipirman]

found this on ig reels
now i love this song❤

[atightgrip]

Love the song, can’t help but reminisce about the good old days every time I hear it.

[mohammedabdulhakim]

Who else got chills when that drop hit?!

[thomasbalmer]

This song reminds me of the days when I was 16/17 with my old friends in my hometown. Driving around late at night, skating through the city. ❤
I wish I could go for one last skate with some of my old friends to say goodbye to people who are no longer here.❤
Lovely memories that I’ll cherish forever. ❤

Thank you for sharing your art, this is the most beautiful song I've heard in months.

[Kdubb]

Man you guys just keep getting better! Love this track it’s so relatable growing older and finding out that most people are only in your life for a season, it’s sad but also fills you with good memories of the times when everyone was hanging out. I think you guys captured that feel perfectly with the melodies and lyrics and I love those strings in there. This is a hit! Keep it fellas! I’m proud of you Joey, I can see great things continuing and God blessing you through you and your band’s writing.

[Thebearjew]

Gives me vibes of growing up in the 00s lost my girl 6 months of 9 years 10 months 2 months shy of our 10 year she couldn't let me forget it. Now here I am tearing up knowing she would love this song because this was all we use to do.

[ZackMoore-oywx]

This song brought me all the way back to 2014
