Things we said
There was so much to laugh about
Now at the Emend of the day
Wish I could Ghear you say
We're at the starting Bmgate
And the race is Don again

Lost my mind
Lost my footing scaling the wall
Now at the Embreak of day
Wish I could Ghear you say
We're at the starting Bmgate
And the race is Don again

We were young

No one could figure out

Things we said

There was so much to laugh about

Now at the end of the day

Wish I could hear you say

We're at the starting gate

And the race is on again

[Riff 1]

Just last night

I couldn't sleep at all

Lost my mind

Lost my footing scaling the wall

Now at the break of day

Wish I could hear you say

We're at the starting gate

And the race is on again
