Verse 1: It's that first day of first grade That cute girl, your third date That backpack, that snapback You've had since the third grade The first time you got laid The worst time you got played It hurt but you're ok You learned from your mistakes Your friends back in high school We thought we were so cool We'd steal Jack - my dad's stash And drink the whole night through The first time you first moved Dad's new job, a new roof New student made new friends, a new start a new you I guess things could be worse Dad's in sales and my mom is a nurse Yea, family comes first Remember all the good and forget about the worst Yea, some things will burn Others will hurt But you can make it work Yea Just flashback and be glad that you can look back at a good past happy that you have that I like living in the past Makes me thankful for everything I have Yea, every time that I laughed It makes me grateful for the present and the past Yea, don't live life too fast Take it all slowly and you can make it last Yea, keep all the friends that you had back in your math cla** You'll be glad that you have em when you look back Verse 2: It's that time that you got caught You snuck out and forgot Your parents were so mad, but man she was so hot That time you got too drunk The first time you blew chunks It's ok we all drank too much when we're too young The first time you held hands Your first time in romance You thought you had no chance but still asked her to dance The time that you moved out Your parents were so proud And waving goodbye they held back their tears somehow All lives aren't the same But we can work together and we can make a change This life is strange Remember all the good while forgetting all the pain Think back to a day When you were so free just to run around to play Yea, you can have that day Just let go let your mind run away Learn to be young Have a little fun with your friends in the sun Cause, in life you only got one Give yourself a break - quit living on the run And be where your feet are Laying down at night just to stare up at the stars And be proud of who you are Wear your memories on your sleeve like a scar
