[Verse 1]
We were laughing in the kitchen, spilling wine on the floor
Talking 'bout the future like we had time to ignore
Didn’t know the way your smile would stay burned in my mind
'Til the calendar kept flipping and we left those days behind
[Pre-Chorus]
Now I’m looking back, wondering how it slipped away
All those little golden hours hiding in the gray
[Chorus]
Right now was the good old days
But I blinked and they were gone like summer rain
We never know the moment 'til it’s memory
Wishing I had held it closer, let it breathe
The clock don't wait, it just keeps on
We’re here, then dust, then just a song
Right now was the good old days
But I didn’t know until they slipped away
[Verse 2]
Took for granted all the noise, the chaos and the mess
Thought I’d always have a second chance to clean up the rest
But life don’t leave a warning, it just moves on without sound
One day you're on the high wire, next you’re on the ground
[Pre-Chorus]
Now the photos fade, but the ache still feels brand new
If I could go back, I’d stay right there with you
[Chorus]
Right now was the good old days
But I blinked and they were gone like summer rain
We never know the moment 'til it’s memory
Wishing I had held it closer, let it breathe
The clock don't wait, it just keeps on
We’re here, then dust, then just a song
Right now was the good old days
But I didn’t know until they slipped away
[Bridge]
So take a breath, look around
This minute matters, don’t slow it down
Say the words, feel the sun
One day you'll wish you hadn't run
[Final Chorus]
‘Cause right now is the good old days
So hold on tight before they drift away
Let the laughter echo, let the light remain
Before it’s just a picture in a dusty frame
The clock don’t wait, so sing along
We’re here, then gone, but not for long
Right now is the good old days
Don’t let ‘em slip like yesterday
