Verse 1
We were running on sunlight and cheap gasoline,
Bare feet on the dashboard, nowhere we had to be.
Time didn’t chase us back then—hell, we outran the clock,
Laughin’ at nothing, staying out past the streetlight knock.
Verse 2
We lived like the world was a backyard swing,
Didn’t know what we had, didn’t need anything.
Every night was a wildfire glow,
And we didn’t care where the wind chose to blow.
Chorus
Those were the days when the sky felt endless,
Hearts were weightless, limbless, reckless.
We were living loud, loving soft,
Taking the long way ‘round just to get lost.
Didn’t know the magic in those runaway days—
Not till life pulled us far from that place.
Verse 3
We thought forever was a promise we could hold,
Never saw the seasons change, never felt the cold.
Now I look back at those wild, wide smiles,
Wish I’d stayed in ’em just a little more while.
Verse 4
Funny how the good times hide in plain sight,
Only show their worth when they fade into night.
But damn, we were kings of a world so free—
Didn’t know how rare that kind of joy would be.
Chorus
Those were the days when the sky felt endless,
Hearts were weightless, limbless, reckless.
We were living loud, loving soft,
Taking the long way ‘round just to get lost.
Didn’t know the magic in those runaway days—
Not till life pulled us far from that place.
Bridge
If I could bottle that sunlight,
If I could borrow that time…
I’d take one more ride through those nights
When everything—
Everything
Felt just right.
Final Chorus
Yeah, those were the days when the sky felt endless,
Hearts beat young, limbless, reckless.
Didn’t know we were dreamers in the making,
Didn’t know what we were losing till it was breaking.
Oh, those good old days, sweet and weightless—
I’d go back in a heartbeat…
If only time were gracious.
