Like The Old Days - Barry Can't Swim

Let go of the old ones We've got some new ones Hold on to the good stuff And let go and get real tough Down, down, down Moon gonna fall down Thump, thump, thump House gonna fall down Chop, chop, chop Tree gonna fall down Down, down, down Down to the bottom Trigger, when you pull it Go home with a bullet No birds in the birdcage Flew off in his old age Down, down, down Moon gonna fall down Thump, thump, thump House gonna fall down Chop, chop, chop Tree gonna fall down Back, back, back Back to the old days The old days So full in the morning Put on your dog skin Wrap up the money Save it for a sunny Day, day, day Moon gonna fall down Thump, thump, thump House gonna fall down Chop, chop, chop Tree gonna fall down Back, back, back Back to the old days

Changes come, I watch them grow In your eyes an ancient glow I caught a glimpse, a dangerous smile Oh, my God, she's a wild child now I've been dreaming, I've been pushing through I'm not the star of the story I've been hurt, and I've been missing you I'm that special kind of lonely These are the good old days, they're ahead and behind These are the good old days, have to keep that in mind These are the good old days, they're ahead and behind These are the good old days, the good old days These are the good old days, the good old days These are the good old days I came of age, tempting fate Growing up, had to wait In my dreams, I miss someone Love is blind, deaf, and dumb I've been dreaming, I've been pushing through I'm not the star of a story I've been hurt and I've been missing you I'm that special kind of lonely These are the good old days, they're ahead and behind These are the good old days, have to keep that in mind These are the good old days, they're re ahead and behind These are the good old days, the good old days These are the good old days, the good old days These are the good old, these are the good old Passing through, passing out Dancing in the kitchen while neighbors shout Feeling up, getting down Gat to show love while we still around So don't stop, just let it out Don't quit don't let me down Don't stop, just let it out Don't quit, don't let me down 'Cause I've been dreaming, I've been paying dues I'm not one for the glory And I've been falling, won't be landing soon It's not the end of the story These are the good old days, they're ahead and behind These are the good old days, have to keep that in mind These are the good old days, they're ahead behind These are the good old days, the good old days These are the good old days, the good old days These are the good old, these are the good old days These are the good old, these are the good old days These are the good old, these are the good old days

The good old days You find your feet but you're acting strange You're cynical but you're bound to change some day. There's time to waste There's a golden beam lights up their face But you never stopped to appreciate it. So tell me now how it's possible that a single day seems so Beautiful and you never know them till they're gone. The good old days You forget the jokes but the laughs remain You never slept but you dreamt you life away. I said your name Just to feel it on my lips again To see if it still felt the same. So tell me now how it's possible that a single day seems so Beautiful and you never know them till they're gone. The good old days. I don't remember the times that we fought Or how you tore my world apart. Just the good old days.

Pull the shade and trap the light in Illuminate the room so I can see your face I need to hear it in person I need to know it was worth it Took the risk and came on over Keeping count of everything I didn't say Heard your breathing get lower The room was getting smaller as you Threw your arms around me way too fast (What did it really mean?) And questioned if I thought it all would last (Will it all last?) Blocking out our future with my past (What does it really mean?) If ignorance is bliss, then why'd you ask If it still haunts me? It still haunts me Hung the pictures that you painted Hallucinations of a love that was never there I felt you start getting nervous You put a gloss on the surface of my Favorite thing you ever drew You said it needed more Shaded in the grays And then you hung it on your door If nothing's ever finished it ends up on the floor Just like we did Just like we did Threw your arms around me way too fast (What did it really mean?) And questioned if I thought it all would last (Will it all last?) Blocking out our future with my past (What does it really mean?) If ignorance is bliss, then why'd you ask If it still haunts me It still haunts me (1, 2, 3, 4) I think about it when I'm falling asleep All the parts of you that I couldn't keep My nightmares torment me much worse The longer you're not here I keep my energy the lowest I can And try and think about where all this began For heaven's sake could I forget That you found someone new I hope to god you're haunted by this too Threw your arms around me way too fast (What did it really mean?) And questioned if I thought it all would last (Will it all last?) Blocking out our future with my past If ignorance is bliss, then why'd you ask? It still haunts me You haunt me You haunt me
