Lyrics of 2011 by 5 Seconds of Summer

verse

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

pre-chorus

Maybe it's just too late for the old me
Maybe there's no point in holdin' on to somethin' closely
I should let it go, I should let it fade
'Cause nothin' lasts forever and nothin' stays the same

chorus

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?

verse

I miss the days when we could live outside our heads
Before, we were all nervous wrecks
But that's the thing about regret
We used to talk about our lives
And all the things we didn't have
We fantasized about the future
But now we dream about the past

pre-chorus

Maybe it's just too late for the old me
Maybe there's no point in holdin' on to somethin' closely
I should let it go (go), I should let it fade (fade)
'Cause nothin' lasts forever and nothin' stays the same

chorus

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?
(2011) to 2011

bridge

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

outro

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)
Writer(s): Michael Clifford, Calum Hood, Nick Long
