lyrics

Remember when it seemed so simple
Well I remember, and those were the days
Back then, it seemed impossible
But I could chop down my enemies

Those were the days
Those were the-

The past can always seem better than the future
It's what the palm readers left untold
Flip through the polaroids
The memories escape me
And i still miss them

Those were the days
Those were the days

Someone release me
Come and release me now
Someone release me
Come and release me now

Because I'd rather die than hear your battle cry
This is not a test - release me
Because it's almost gone
And it’s time to move on
This is not a test - release me

Instantly developed, the emphasis has changed
I'm forced to focus on what's unknown
Flashbacks and old friends
They analyze revise me
There's been mistakes I've made and

Those were the days
Those were the days
Those were the days

Because I'd rather die than hear your battle cry
This is not a test - release me
Because it's almost gone
And it’s time to move on
This is not a test - release me
