| When I was 20 I moved to New York City
|
| Couldn’t wait to feel the pavement beneath me
|
| Couldn’t wait to act just like a fool
|
| I’m tripping home drunk with someone who was pretty
|
| Not going to sleep until the light hits the city
|
| Waking up in the afternoon
|
| 'Cause those were the days to remember
|
| And those were the nights we lived
|
| Making our lives to remember and say
|
| Those were the nights we lived, oh-oh
|
| Oh-oh
|
| When I was 25 I buried my father
|
| But before he severed the last of his karma
|
| There was one thing he said to me
|
| He said live your life like there’s nobody stronger
|
| Live in love with your mom and your brother
|
| 'Cause nothing lasts except the memories
|
| 'Cause these are the days to remember
|
| And these are the nights we lived
|
| Making our lives to remember and say
|
| These are the nights we lived, oh-oh
|
| Oh-oh
|
| When I was 29 I fell in love with a monster
|
| Hidden in the sly cloak of a charmer
|
| Plotting to destroy all of me
|
| That’s when I learned what love and abuse was
|
| Yeah I think I still have a few of his scars
|
| If you look closely you can see
|
| But those were the days to remember
|
| And those were the nights we lived
|
| Making our lives to remember and say
|
| Those were the nights we lived, oh-oh
|
| Oh-oh
|
| Oh-oh
|
| Oh-oh
|
| But those were the days to remember
|
| And those were the nights we lived
|
| Making our lives to remember and say
|
| Those were the nights we lived, oh-oh
|
| Oh-oh
|
| these are the days to remember (Oh-oh)
|
| And these are the nights we lived (Oh-oh)
|
| Making our lives to remember and say
|
| These are the nights we lived, oh-oh |
