The Days

It seems like just yesterday

We were posin' in knock-off frames

Spikin' up our lemonade

Smilin' in a cap and gown

I don't know what to say

I know I've been MIA

The dreams I just had to chase

Been runnin' me around

The other day, it hit me like a hammer

That you can't get back those moments that really matter

Another candle on a cake

Another month on a page

You blink, another year under the sun

We all go 'round

It's hello and goodbye and

It's knowing that it's flyin' away

And there's no way to slow it down

Instead of countin' up the days

I just wanna make 'em count

I need to catch up with my sister

Our old jacket pins and stickers

Sometimes the bigger picture is in the little things

Hidin' out in aisle three

In the CVS from that gossip queen

Who'd have told the whole town if she'd seen us

Actin' fifteen again

The other day, it hit me like a hammer

That you can't get back all those moments that really matter

Another candle on a cake

Another month on a page

You blink, another year under the sun

We all go 'round

It's hello and goodbye and

It's knowin' that it's flyin' away

And there's no way to slow it down

Instead of countin' up the days

I just wanna

Make 'em count

I don't want 'em to add up to nothin'

Make 'em count

'Cause if it's all I got, I want 'em to mean somethin'

Every candle on a cake

Every month on a page

You blink, another year under the sun

We all go round

They're hello and goodbyin'

I know that they're flyin' away

And there's no way to slow 'em down

Instead of counting up the days

I just wanna make 'em count

Yeah, I just wanna make 'em count
