Verse 1
I’m ten years old and I’m pretty sure
I’ve got the best life around
Got my shoes kicked off by the front door
And a basketball on the ground
I play Fortnite with Dad on Friday nights
We’re the last two up in the house
You cheer so loud when we win that round
Mom says, “Y’all gotta keep it down!”
Pre-Chorus
I don’t need much, just this right here
Laughing in the living room
Chorus
I like Go Fish with Mom at the kitchen table
You act surprised when I win
I make my baby sister laugh so hard
She can’t catch her breath again
My big brothers are my heroes
Even when they race ahead
I’m running fast just to catch up
To every word they’ve said
These are the best days ever
And I don’t wanna miss a thing
If growing up feels anything like this
It’s gonna be awesome, I think
Verse 2
I play ball out back with my friends
Till the sky turns orange and pink
We argue safe or out at home
Then grab a cold drink
I just learned how to snowboard this year
Man, I felt ten feet tall
Dad said, “Son, that’s how you fly —
You get back up when you fall.”
Pre-Chorus
I’m not big yet, but I’m getting there
One brave step at a time
Chorus
I like Go Fish with Mom at the kitchen table
And Fortnite wins with Dad
I make my baby sister giggle so loud
It’s the best sound I’ve ever had
My big brothers still let me hang
Even when I talk too much
I may be small but I’ve got big dreams
And a whole lotta love and luck
These are the best days ever
And I’m holding on tight
If this is what growing up feels like
Man, it’s gonna be alright
Bridge (uplifting, big harmony moment)
Someday I’ll drive, someday I’ll leave
Someday I’ll chase big skies
But I’ll always remember these living room lights
And my family by my side
Final Chorus (big and joyful)
So deal one more hand at the table
Let’s play one more round tonight
Let’s laugh so hard the neighbors know
Everything’s alright
Yeah these are the best days ever
And I know that much is true
If I turn out half as good as you
There’s nothing I can’t do
