2011 (Live From The 5SOS Show) Lyrics

[Intro: Luke]
Thank you very much for 10 years!
Here’s “2011”, Calum Hood

[Verse 1: Calum]
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 asking why
I remember what it's like

[Pre-Chorus: Calum]
Maybe it's just too late for the old me
Maybe there's no point in holdin' on to something closely
I should let it go, I should let it fade
'Cause nothing lasts forever and nothing stays the same

[Chorus: Michael & Calum, Luke, All, Michael]
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 2: Calum, Michael]
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, go!


[Pre-Chorus: Calum]
Maybe it's just too late for the old me
Maybe there's no point in holdin' on to something closely
I should let it go, I should let it fade
'Cause nothing lasts forever and nothing stays the same

[Chorus: All, Luke]
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?)

[Bridge: Calum, Ashton, Calum & Luke]
Back to the days when the days were better
Back to the days when the days were better (Go!)
Back to the days when the days were better
Back to the days when the days were better

[Outro: Calum & Luke, Michael]
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)

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 [?]
