Lyrics

I have stumbled
made mistakes
I regret some things I did in those days
but in a heartbeat now
I'd do it all again if I could

Pinching pennies just to throw them away
at old dive bars
with brand new flames
and the weekend lasted
as long as we thought it should

With some distance now
it all rushes to me

It was heaven for a little
taking our time growing up
I still get sentimental
thinking how glorious it was
to be young
to be young

Broken drywall
we never replaced
every hole was like a priceless Monet
Kept the music loud
and the company good

I remember the
solo cups
porch cigarettes
Way it felt beside a cute brunette
and the morning after
hurting less than it should

With some distance now
it all rushes to me

It was heaven for a little
taking our time growing up
I still get sentimental
thinking how glorious it was

And everybody drifts away, darling
You barely hear their names anymore
I wonder if they're all still out there
brilliant as they were before
brilliant as they were before

It was heaven for a little
taking our time growing up
I still get sentimental
thinking how glorious it was

It was heaven for a little
taking our time growing up
I still get sentimental
thinking how glorious it was
to be young
to be young
