The days of my past now are so far gone The glory days when the battles were won The walking down those hallowed halls The laughing, the yelling, the ruling it all As I close my eyes I can plainly see The lunchroom tables and everybody The jokes that were made, the fun that was had And all the trouble we got being bad But time, time can be so cruel And play with your mind And you wish harder for those days to find Time can be so cruel And play with your mind And you wish harder for those days to find Those days are gone forever! Life rolls on even as we look back To those days that were treasured When fiction was fact I get the chills when I stop and think How much time can actually pass between each blink? When I think of all the things that I did I feel like now in my heart that I don't even live Can you feel the warmth as you stop and smile? Doesn't that call you back every once in a while? While! The days of my past now are so far gone The glory days when the battles were won The walking down those hallowed halls The laughing, the yelling, the ruling it all As I close my eyes I can plainly see The lunchroom tables and everybody The jokes that were made, the fun that was had And all the trouble we got being bad But time, time can be so cruel And play with your mind And you wish harder for those days to find Time can be so cruel And play with your mind And you wish harder for those days to find Days Past! My heart races back to the days of the past In my mind I knew that it wouldn't last So much to miss, (So much to miss!), So much fun I spend my days reliving thoughts of all that I've done
