[Instrumental]

[Intro: Sample]

Been spending most their lives
Living in a pastime paradise
Been spending most their lives
Living in a pastime paradise
Been wasting most of their time
Glorifying days long gone behind
Been wasting most their days
In remembrance of ignorance oldest praise

[Chorus : Sample]

Thinking about the days gone by...
Ooh you know I'm thinking bout times
That don't exist anymore...

[Verse: Instrumental]

[Bridge: Sample]

Sometimes I feel that I just can't take anymore

[Chorus : Sample]
Thinking about the days gone by...
Ooh you know I'm thinking bout times
That don't exist anymore...

[Interlude: Sample]

I like bootleg rum better
It's full of memories
Every swig takеs me back...
Far back, y'know?
Good old days when a fella knеw nothing and cared less

*beat switch*

[Chorus: Sample]

Have you ever been lost
In a friend's eye? I have
Have you ever been tossed
By the wayside in an old friend's mind?

[Verse: Instrumental]

[Bridge: Sample]

Please please forgive me
Please please forgive me
Please please forgive me
That's what I wanted anyway...
[Chorus: Sample]

Have you ever been lost
In a friend's eye? I have
Have you ever been tossed
By the wayside in an old friend's mind?
