Lyrics

[Verse 1]
(Whoa oh oh, whoa oh oh, whoa oh oh)
(Whoa oh oh, whoa oh oh, whoa oh oh)
[Verse 2]
I gotta lotta old friends
That are gettin' back in touch
And it's a pretty good feelin', yeah
It feels pretty good
I get a lotta double takes
When I'm comin' around the corners
And it's mostly pretty nice, yeah
It's mostly pretty all right
[Verse 3]
'Cause most kids give me credit
For being down with it
When it was back in the day
Back when things were way different
When the Youth of Today
And the early 7 Seconds
Taught me some of life's
Most valuable lessons
[Verse 4]
There's gonna come a time
When the scene'll seem less sunny
It'll probably get druggy
And the kids'll seem too skinny
There's gonna come a time
When she's gonna have to go
With whoever's gonna get her the highest
[Verse 5]
There's gonna come a time
When the true scene leaders
Forget where they differ and get big picture
'Cause the kids at the shows
They'll have kids of their own
The sing-along songs will be our scriptures
[Verse 6]
(Whoa oh oh, whoa oh oh, whoa oh oh)
We gotta stay positive
(Whoa oh oh, whoa oh oh, whoa oh oh)
We gotta stay positive
[Verse 7]
(Whoa oh oh, whoa oh oh, whoa oh oh)
We gotta stay positive
(Whoa oh oh, whoa oh oh, whoa oh oh)
We gotta stay positive
[Verse 8]
When the chaperone crowned us
The king and the queen
I knew that we'd arrived at a unified scene
And all those little lambs from my dreams
Well, they were there too
[Verse 9]
'Cause it's one thing to start it
With a positive jam
And it's another thing to see it all through
And we couldn't even done this
If it wasn't for you
[Verse 10]
(Whoa oh oh, whoa oh oh, whoa oh oh)
We gotta stay positive
(Whoa oh oh, whoa oh oh, whoa oh oh)
We gotta stay positive
[Verse 11]
(Whoa oh oh, whoa oh oh, whoa oh oh)
We gotta stay positive
(Whoa oh oh, whoa oh oh, whoa oh oh)
