Intro
(uh)
Yeah
Verse 1
Used to ride my bike until the streetlights came on
Used to think the summer was a thing that lasted long
Now the days move faster than I ever thought they could
Blink and there's a decade gone, blink and there's a whole neighborhood
Changed beyond recognition, the house got sold last spring
New family in my bedroom, different curtains hanging
I drove by just to look and didn't even slow the car
Some things you gotta let stay exactly where they are
Pre-Chorus
And I didn't know that growing up meant losing
(meant losing, meant losing)
Pieces of a world I wasn't through with using
(meant losing, meant losing)
Chorus
I miss the kid who thought that forever was a fact
Miss the simple summers, wish that I could get them back
But I carry every single one of them inside
Even when the world moves on, the memory don't subside
(uh, oh-oh)
I miss the kid who thought that forever was a fact
(uh, oh-oh)
Miss the simple summers, wish that I could get them back
Verse 2
I still remember the smell of cut grass after rain
Still remember running til my lungs would feel the strain
Didn't know that I was building a museum in my chest
Didn't know that childhood was a thing I'd come to miss the best
Now I'm grown and chasing things that matter more, supposedly
But some nights I'd trade it all for one more sticky summer evening
With my whole life still unwritten, still a blank and open page
Before I understood the weight that comes along with age
Pre-Chorus
And I didn't know that growing up meant losing
(meant losing, meant losing)
Pieces of a world I wasn't through with using
(meant losing, meant losing)
Chorus
I miss the kid who thought that forever was a fact
Miss the simple summers, wish that I could get them back
But I carry every single one of them inside
Even when the world moves on, the memory don't subside
(uh, oh-oh)
I miss the kid who thought that forever was a fact
(uh, oh-oh)
Miss the simple summers, wish that I could get them back
Bridge
Carry it inside
(carry it inside)
Even when it's gone
(even when it's gone)
The kid I was is still in here
Still humming our old song
Chorus
I miss the kid who thought that forever was a fact
Miss the simple summers, wish that I could get them back
But I carry every single one of them inside
Even when the world moves on, the memory don't subside
(uh, oh-oh)
I miss the kid who thought that forever was a fact
(uh, oh-oh)
Miss the simple summers, wish that I could get them back
Outro
(uh)
Still humming our old song
Yeah
