Right Now Was the Good Old Days

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

Now I’m looking back, wondering how it slipped away

All those little golden hours hiding in the gray

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

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

Now the photos fade, but the ache still feels brand new

If I could go back, I’d stay right there with you

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

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

‘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
