Lyrics
I miss the days when we were young and not too wise
Only doing what felt right
With open hearts and open eyes
I miss the days before I second guessed my life
Wasn't always asking why
I remember what it's like

Maybe it's just too late for the old me
Maybe there's no point in holding onto something closely
I should let it go, I should let it fade
'Cause nothing last forever and nothing stays the same

Why do we complicate it?
Why do we get so jaded?
Can we just go back, go back to 2011? (Can we go back?)
Why do we ruin our dreams?
Why do we sabotage things?
Can we just go back, go back to 2011? (Can we go back?)
To 2011

I miss the days when we can live outside our heads
Before we were all nervous wrecks
That's the thing about regret
We used to talk about our lives and all the things we didn't have
We've fantasized about the future
Now we dream about the past

Maybe it's just too late for the old me
Maybe there's no point in holding onto something closely
I should let it go, I should let it fade
'Cause nothing lasts forever and nothing stays the same

Why do we complicate it?
Why do we get so jaded?
Can we just go back, go back to 2011? (Can we go back?)
Why do we ruin our dreams?
Why do we sabotage things?
Can we just go back, go back to 2011?
To 2011

Back to the days when the days were better
Back to the days when the days were better
Back to the days when the days were better
Back to the days when the days were better

Back to the days when the days were better
(Back to the days when the days were better)
Back to the days when the days were better
(Back to the days when the days were better)
Back to the days when the days were better
(Back to the days when the days were better)
Back to the days when the days were better
(Back to the days when the days were better)
