Verse 1
When we were young the world felt far and wide,
Every little road became a ride,
The trees stood tall like mountains in the sky,
And every dream could teach our hearts to fly.

Verse 2
Back then the days would never really end,
We always had our chosen friends,
We played pirates, police, and hide-and-seek,
Running wild through every summer week.

Chorus 1
Do you remember summer in the rain,
Running home and going out again?
We thought the world would always stay this way,
Young forever in another day.

Verse 3
Then teenage years came rushing through the night,
Curious hearts chasing every light,
Every song we played would fill the air,
Making every moment feel so rare.

Bridge 1
We stopped saying, “Do you want to play?”
Now it turned to, “Can we meet today?”
No mobile phones lighting up the night,
Only house-line calls and cozy lights.

Chorus 2
And every conversation felt so true,
Sitting outside long past half past two,
No endless screens stealing all our time,
Just restless hearts learning life outside.

Verse 4
The internet was barely even there,
No perfect lives pretending everywhere,
We learned by walking side by side at night,
Finding who we were beneath the lights.

Verse 5
And looking back it’s strange to realise,
How small the roads now seem before my eyes,
The places that once felt so far away
Now feel close enough to touch today.

Bridge 2
Some friends stayed close while others moved along,
Some disappeared like words inside a song,
But every face and every passing year
Still left a little memory here.

Chorus 3
Here’s to the nights we thought would never fade,
To every promise that we thought we’d made,
To every laugh still echoing somehow,
Living softly in our hearts right now.

Verse 6
Some friends appeared for only little while,
Some could always bring us back a smile,
And some were never meant to truly stay,
But every one still shaped the way.

Bridge 3
Now the years move faster than before,
One day closes while another opens doors,
Still somewhere deep beneath the changing skies,
The child inside us never dies.

Chorus 4
So if tomorrow takes us far away,
And pulls apart the people from today,
I know the past will always leave a sign,
Like old streetlights glowing in the mind.

Verse 7
So here we stand with older hearts tonight,
Still carrying those younger dreams inside,
And though the years keep drifting with the rain,
True friendship always will remain.

Bridge 4
And when the quiet finally fills the air,
I’ll still remember every moment there,
The world grew smaller as the years moved on,
But those old days are never truly gone.
