I always thought that those were better days
Eyes wide open, eyes full of innocence
But time and distance causes memory to fade
Rose tinted glasses, lenses cracking in the frame
My past is lost, buried under heavy days
Time slipping through our hands like sand within the waves
Bleached bones of friends forgotten
Growing paler in the sun
I always thought that those were better days
Eyes wide open, eyes full of innocence
But time and distance causes memory to fade
Rose tinted glasses, lenses cracking in the frame
Empty days of misspent hours
Wandering with little else to do
How I would kill to taste those seconds to my tongue
Recapture bitter memories of misbegotten youth
But now it’s too far gone
I always thought that those were better days
Eyes wide open, eyes full of innocence
But time and distance causes memory to fade
Rose tinted glasses, lenses cracking in the frame
