2:38

Couple hundred dollars in my pocket Couple thousand miles from home Pulled up with everything we own and no place to go Found ourselves a small apartment, just a place to make our beds Wrote down every thought that I ever had Played guitar til my fingers bled And we knew the stakes were high Some days we laughed, some days we cried Chasing dreams and wasting time These were the best days of our lives It's 2:38 in the morning, no clarity in my mind If I could regulate all the chemicals, maybe I could get some sleep at night Working nine to five just to pass the time and pay all the debts that I owe Bear my days and grin, what I wouldn't give to hear our song on the radio And we knew the stakes were high Some days we laughed, some days we cried Chasing dreams and wasting time These were the best days of our lives And the times that I recall when we had nothing at all Writing songs with my best friends This is how the story begins It's not the destination that you are looking for The journey never ends and we must carry the torch The notes from my fingers, the words from my mouth The songs write me as they please, not the other way around Is it worth it? Would you change it Would you do it over if you could There's a feeling that you have when you do much more than you thought you would Now the years are disappearing just right from underneath my feet Never hold back, never give in to the lies your fears make you believe And we knew the stakes were high Some days we laughed, some days we cried Chasing dreams and wasting time These were the best days of our lives
