The Years Songtext
von The Day

We can′t see ourselves
As humans that we are
Now we are longing for
A memory that left its scar

And when we were young
Life fragile in our hands
Everything did count
But did we take the chance?

Back when we first met
We were like leaves in fall
We didn't realize
How time would divide us all

We acted instead
Like if we′d made a vow
Never to grow old
I guess you can't recall


In yesterdays
Hope for tomorrow and
There was a way
No trace of sorrow
All that is left
The rearview mirror and you

I hope someday
We reveal the truth and
That makes us stay
Where we found our youth
We won't regret
The choices that we made

These are the words
Still ringing in my head
You did leave them here
I know exactly what you said

You said: "I knew for sure
Though my life just began
That there were times I felt
Already older than my old man"


In yesterdays
Hope for tomorrow and
There was a way
No trace of sorrow
All that is left
The rearview mirror and you

I hope someday
We reveal the truth and
That makes us stay
Where we found our youth
We won′t regret
The choices that we made
