I was younger, the summers were longer
I had no fear, I was stronger and freer
With fire, a fire that didn't expire
The reason or meaning of somethin' to believe in
I was hopeful we had it, the magic
The love that we had wasn't tragic, so we grabbed it, we went there
Nothin' but air, so we breathed it, 'cause we need it
To freefall for somethin' we believed in

Lookin' back through my eyes, everybody says goodbye
Where did all the time fly by, where did it go, you know?
Do you feel my heartbeat? 'Cause, darlin' it's not over yet
Where did all the time fly by, where did it go, you know?
These are the times of our lives

I was fearless, I was able, I was brave
Put all of my cards on the table, didn't waste them
All of my demons that turned into dreams
And I chased them, I faced them
Replaced them for somethin' to believe in

I don't remember the rain (I don't remember)
I don't remember the details (all the details)
There's nothin' that I wanna change
I'd do it again and again and again

Lookin' back through my eyes, everybody says goodbye
Where did all the time fly by, where did it go, you know?
Fallin' like a sunset, but, darlin' it's not over yet
Where did all the time fly by, where did it go, you know?
These are the times of our lives

'Cause we hope and we pray
Keep 'em close, make 'em stay
Yeah, we hold onto time, like a clock, I rewind
Hold your breath, one more tim, don't forget you're alive
These are the times of our lives
These are the time of our lives, oh

These are the time of our lives ('cause we hope and we pray)
These are the time of our lives (Keep 'em close, make 'em stay)
(Yeah, we hold onto time, like a clock, I rewind) ooh
(Hold your breath, one more time, don't forget you're alive) ooh
These are the times of our lives

When you're older, the sunlight is shorter
Am I the girl in the corner?
I dream to adore her
A moment forever before us, I'm in it
And you are, someone to believe in
