[Verse 1]

Yeah, it's that first day of first grade (Yeah)

That cute girl, your third date (Yeah)

That backpack, that snapback (Yeah)

You've had since the third grade (Yeah)

The first time you got laid (Yeah)

The worst time you got played (Yeah)

It hurt, but you're okay (Yeah)

You learned from your mistakes (Yeah)

Your friends back in high school (Yeah)

We thought we were so cool (Yeah)

We'd steal Jack, my dad's stash (Yeah)

And drink the whole night through (Yeah)

The first time you first moved (Yeah)

Dad's new job, a new roof (Yeah)

New student made new friends (Yeah)

A new start, a new you

I guess things could be worse

Dad's in sales and my mom is a nurse, yeah

Family comes first, remember all the good and forget about the worst

Yeah, some things will burn and others will hurt, but you can make it work

Yeah, just flashback and be glad that you can look back

At a good past, happy that you have that

I like livin' in the past, it makes me thankful for everything I have

Yeah, every time that I laughed, it makes me grateful for the present and the past

Yeah, don't live life too fast, take it all slowly and you can make it last

Yeah, keep all the friends that you had back in your math class

You'll be glad that you have 'em when you look back

[Verse 2]

Yeah, yeah, it's that time that you got caught (Yeah)

You snuck out and forgot (Yeah)

Your parents were so mad (Yeah)

But, man, she was so hot (Yeah)

That time you got too drunk (Yeah)

The first time you blew chunks (Yeah)

It's okay, we all drank (Yeah)

Too much when we're too young (Yeah)

The first time you held hands (Yeah)

Your first time in romance (Yeah)

You thought you had no chance (Yeah)

But still asked her to dance (Yeah)

The time that you moved out (Yeah)

Your parents were so proud (Yeah)

And waving goodbye (Yeah)

They held back their tears somehow (Yeah)

Let's go, all lives aren't the same, but we can work together and we can make a change (Yeah)

Yeah, this life is strange, remember all the good while forgettin' all the pain

Yeah, think back to a day when you were so free just to run around and play

Yeah, you can have that day, just let go, let your mind run away

Yeah, and 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 livin' on the run

And be where your feet are layin' down at night just to stare up at the stars, yeah

And be proud of who you are, wear your memories on your sleeve, like a scar
