How Do You Know (Strings Version)

[Intro]

How do you know, do you know

That the good days are now while you're living them out?

[Verse 1]

Someone's off in the corner

Pitching a fire all on their own

Someone's calling their friends

While you're missing them, and they're so far from home

All the lads in the corner

Singing to daughters and dancing around

Half a Jack on the table

'Cause no one's been able to drink it all down

[Pre-Chorus]

Well, we don't know the words but we're singing

'Cause these are the times

[Chorus]

So, how do you know, do you know

That the good days arе now while you're living them out?

And how do you know, do you know

That thе ones that you're living are the ones you'll be missing?

Well, we don't know the words but we're singing

'Cause these are the times

So, how do you know, do you know

That the good days are now while you're living them out right now?

[Verse 2]

One lost touch in the summer

Moved to the suburbs, probably settled down

I'm not sure 'bout the others

One lost his brother, and one moves around

I still think of that night

Did we have it all right?

Still, we all searched for more

So, now, when I sit 'round the table

I wish we were able to sing it like before

[Pre-Chorus]

Well, we don't know the words but we're singing

'Cause these are the times

[Chorus]

So, how do you know, do you know

That the good days are now while you're living them out?

And how do you know, do you know

That the ones that you're living are the ones you'll be missing?

Well, we don't know the words but we're singing

'Cause these are the times

Well, we don't know the words but we're singing

'Cause these are the times

Right now

[Outro]

All that's left is the photo

I don't even know who took it back then

Who'd have thought in the moment

That I'd get to hold all that's left in the end?
