I used to think

Man I'll never get old

But all I heard

Was boy your schooldays are gold

Those Friday nights

Chasing after a girl

Oh how I wish

These things would just stay the same

From when we would

Look in the mirror and we wouldn't change a thing

We'd write songs and we didn't care who's listening

We'd run for miles just to win our favourite playground games

Those childhood days, are all just a memory

The simple things

Like when we'd play in the park

The simple things

When we were scared of the dark

The simple things

Are drifting by day by day

But tomorrow's a brand new day

What I would do

If those days were tomorrow's

I'd go to bed

Dreaming about what I have now

I'd slip inside

The old eye of my own mind

To find, Simple things

Each and every day

But now we all

Look in the mirror and we want to change everything

We write songs and we only care who's listening

We run for miles just to get away from everything

If only I could rewrite the script to

The simple things

Like when we'd play in the park

The simple things

When we were scared of the dark

The simple things

Are drifting by day by day

But tomorrow's a brand new day

The simple things

Like when we'd play in the park

The simple things

When we were scared of the dark

The simple things

Are drifting by day by day

But tomorrow's a brand new day
