Good Old Days Songtext
von Macklemore

I wish somebody would have told me, babe
Someday, these will be the good old days
All the love you won′t forget
And all these reckless nights you won't regret
Someday soon, your whole life′s gonna change
You'll miss the magic of these good old days

I was thinkin' ′bout the band
I was thinkin′ 'bout the fans
We were underground
Loadin′ merch in that twelve-passenger van
In a small club in Minnesota
And the snow outside of 1st Ave
I just wanted my name in a star
Now look at where we at

Still growin' up (Woo, ooh), still growin′ up (Woo, ooh)
I would lay in my bed and dream about what I'd become (Woo, ooh)
Couldn′t wait to get older (Woo, ooh), couldn't wait to be some (Woo, ooh)
Now that I'm here, wishing I was still young
Those good old days


I wish somebody would have told me, babe
That someday, these will be the good old days
All the love you won′t forget
And all these reckless nights you won′t regret
'Cause someday soon, your whole life′s gonna change
You'll miss the magic of the good old days

Wish I didn′t think I had the answers
Wish I didn't drink all of that flask first
Wish I made it to homecoming
Got up the courage to ask her
Wish I would′ve gotten out of my shell
Wish I put the bottle back on that shelf
Wish I wouldn't have worry about what other people thought
And felt comfortable in myself
Rooftop open (Woo, ooh), and the stars above (Woo, ooh)
Moment frozen, sneakin' out, and fallin′ in love (Woo, ooh)
Me, you and that futon (Woo, ooh), we′d just begun (Woo, ooh)
On the grass dreamin', figuring out who I was
Those good old days

I wish somebody would have told me, babe
That someday, these will be the good old days
All the love you won′t forget
And all these reckless nights you won't regret
′Cause someday soon, your whole life's gonna change
You′ll miss the magic of the good old days


Never thought we'd get old, maybe we're still young
Maybe you always look back and think it was better than it was
Maybe these are the moments
Maybe I′ve been missin′ what it's about
Been scared of the future, thinkin′ about the past
While missin' out on now
We′ve come so far (Woo, ooh), I guess I'm proud (Woo, ooh)
And I ain′t worried 'bout the wrinkles 'round my smile (Woo, ooh)
I′ve got some scars (Woo, ooh), I′ve been around (Woo, ooh)
I've felt some pain, I′ve seen some things, but I'm here now
Those good old days (Oh, oh, oh)

You don′t know (Woah, oh, oh) what you've got (Woah, oh, oh)
′Til it goes (Woah, oh, oh), 'til it's gone (Woah, oh, oh)
You don′t know (Woah, oh, oh) what you′ve got (Woah, oh, oh)
'Til it goes (Woah, oh, oh), ′til it's gone (Woah, oh, oh)

I wish somebody would have told me, babe
Someday, these will be the good old days
All the love you won′t forget
And all these reckless nights you won't regret
Someday soon, your whole life′s gonna change
You'll miss the magic of these good old days
