​time of our lives Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I was younger, the summers were longer
I had no fear, I was stronger and freer
With fire, a fire that didn't expire
The reason or meaning of somethin' to believe in
I was hopeful we had it, the magic
The love that we had wasn't tragic, so we grabbed it, we went there
Nothin' but air, so we breathed it, 'cause we need it
To free fall for somethin' we believed in

[Chorus]
Lookin' back through my eyеs, everybody says goodbye
Whеre did all the time fly by, where did it go, you know?
Do you feel my heartbeat? 'Cause, darlin' it's not over yet
Where did all the time fly by, where did it go, you know?
These are the times of our lives

[Verse 2]
I was fearless, I was able, I was brave
Put all of my cards on the table, didn't waste them
All of my demons that turned into dreams
And I chased them, I faced them, replaced them for somethin' to believe in

[Pre-Chorus]
I don't remember the rain (I don't remember)
I don't remember the details (All the details)
There's nothin' that I wanna change
I'd do it again and again and again
[Chorus]
Lookin' back through my eyes, everybody says goodbye
Where did all the time fly by, where did it go, you know?
Fallin' like a sunset, but, darlin' it's not over yet
Where did all the time fly by, where did it go, you know?
These are the times of our lives

[Post-Chorus]
'Cause we hope and we pray
Keep 'em close, make 'em stay
Yeah, we hold back the time, like the clock, I rewind
Hold your breath, one more time, don't forget you're alive
These are the times of our lives
These are the times of our lives, oh
These are the times of our lives
These are the times of our lives, ooh
These are the times of our lives

[Outro]
You're older, the sunlight is shorter
Am I the girl in the corner?
I dream to adore her
A moment forever before us, I'm in it
And you are, someone to believe in

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
