There was a time, not long ago We lost our minds, the story goes And we would stay up late in the summer sun, sing along to the same old songs We had the night, to all let go We spent our lives, out of control If we only knew what we knew right now, maybe we could turn it back around We had the world in the palm of our hands, we made mistakes but we still took chances We had the world in the palm of our hands; we had it all but we took it for granted When everything is changing, don't you be afraid We never wanted it to end up this way, but that's how stories are made Our hopes were high, our heads stayed low That was the life, we'd ever known Week by week we were stuck on repeat, everything was within our reach We had a summer time, state of mind to stay on track We had each other to discover anything we lacked We have a list of everything that we wish we could take back now We had the world in the palm of our hands, we made mistakes but we still took chances We had the world in the palm of our hands; we had it all but we took it for granted When everything is changing, don't you be afraid We never wanted it to end up this way, but that's how stories are made I know I know it's a lot to ask, but let's face the facts; we can't live in the past So here's to our serenity, we're in it for the memories We're living on the edge now Just like we always had it planned out It was perfectly imperfect But it was worth, yeah it was worth it
