Do You Remember?

Man, do you remember way back when,
when we were all caught up in the moment we were living in?
And we weren’t worried ‘bout a thing past Friday night,
and we didn’t care ‘bout what was wrong from what was right
And it only took one bad thing to ruin the whole day,
and it only took one good thing to make everything okay?
Man, can you still hear the sound of your best friend laughing at the Friday game?
Can you see the difference between who you wanted to be and who you became?
Can you tell me exactly how it was you were hoping life would go,
and if it turned out the way you wanted it to so long ago?
And can you remember all those crazy dreams you were set would come true,
and how possible everything is if you stop dreaming and just do?

And the catch phrase of those days went something like, “I don’t know.”
And we were all living with everything we had, but still had nothing to show.
And everyone wished for something better than they had,
even though, really, life wasn’t all that bad
And nobody really knew what the point of this whole thing was,
but we went on with life, doing all those crazy things, just because.

Man, would you mind helping me get that back,
to once again be that kid with their life on track?
That kid who had their whole life up ahead,
that kid who had every reason to be sad but was happy instead,
that kid who did whatever and refused to regret,
that kid who wrote everything down and refused to forget.

And the catch phrase of those days went something like, “I don’t know.”
And we were all living with everything we had, but still had nothing to show.
And those years passed so fast, from the first day of January to the last of December.
Man, do you remember?
