good old days

My mother told me, "Don't you wait for better times You'll never find them if you're standing in the line Always remember how to live, not just survive" And even on my worst nights, I trust that I'll be fine 'Cause, oh, some day when I grow old With most of my story told I'll look at the life I made and say Let me tell you 'bout the good old days Every memory and dumb mistake Yeah, I'm talkin' 'bout the late nights The good times, the mess that I made Those were the good old days, the good old days Too many people in this world that I can't please Too many versions of myself that I could be I don't wanna let my fear decide what's right for me Before I lose control, I'm gon' take the driver's seat 'Cause, oh, some day when I grow old With most of my story told I'll look at the life I made and say Let me tell you 'bout the good old days Every memory and dumb mistake Yeah, I'm talkin' 'bout the late nights The good times, the mess that I made Those were the good old days Let me tell you 'bout my first heartbreak I don't want to put the tears away Yeah, I'm talking 'bout the drunk texts The regrets, the dreams that I chased Those were the good old days, the good old days I know, I know these are the good old days I know, I know these are the good old days I know, I know these are the good old days Those were the good old, these are the good old days
