I used to think
Man I'll never get old
But all I heard
Was boy your schooldays are gold
Those Friday nights
Chasing after a girl
Oh how I wish
These things would just stay the same
From when we would
Look in the mirror and we wouldn't change a thing
We'd write songs and we didn't care who's listening
We'd run for miles just to win our favourite playground games
Those childhood days, are all just a memory
The simple things
Like when we'd play in the park
The simple things
When we were scared of the dark
The simple things
Are drifting by day by day
But tomorrow's a brand new day
What I would do
If those days were tomorrow's
I'd go to bed
Dreaming about what I have now
I'd slip inside
The old eye of my own mind
To find, Simple things
Each and every day
But now we all
Look in the mirror and we want to change everything
We write songs and we only care who's listening
We run for miles just to get away from everything
If only I could rewrite the script to
The simple things
Like when we'd play in the park
The simple things
When we were scared of the dark
The simple things
Are drifting by day by day
But tomorrow's a brand new day
The simple things
Like when we'd play in the park
The simple things
When we were scared of the dark
The simple things
Are drifting by day by day
But tomorrow's a brand new day
