Another year goes by, speeding as I drive
I felt like I would live this life I knew forever
I didn't see it change, but I know it's not the same
I'd bring it back, if I could, but I know, I'm not that clever

Life's so short
And it goes by fast
And we can't get it back

The world we knew, it was so simple then
Me and you, thought it would never end
Oh, what I wouldn't do, to get back to
The world we knew

Songs can bring me back, yeah, I remember that
And nothing wrong, the days were long and the sun was warmer, mmm

Life's so short
And it goes by fast
We'll never get it back

The world we knew, it was so simple then
Me and you, thought it would never end
Oh, what I wouldn't do, to get back to
The world we knew

I remember nights, baby, you and I, taking what were given
And I remember days, standing in the rain, that's what I call living
Not a worry, not a care, everything was different, but we're still here

In the world we knew, it was so simple then
Me and you, it was so simple then

The world we knew, hey, oh yeah
Oh, the world we knew, oohh, the world we knew
