I remember that summer
back in 1993
That’s when I thought that we were friends
We would hang out all night long
while everyone was sleeping
Deliver papers and just talk… about anything
And those were the days
when I felt close to you
And those were the days
that I want back
But they’re so far gone…
I still remember everything
that you taught me back then
It keeps me going ‘til this day
You told me that all my pain
and suffering was fleeting
That a good man won’t be kept down… in the end
And those were the days
when I felt close to you
And those were the days
that I want back
But they’re so far gone…
Today you are a stranger,
to me you seem so different
I don’t understand anything
that you do now
Maybe tomorrow will be
different than the present
I hope someday you come around… in the end
‘Cause those were the days
when I felt close to you
And those were the days
that I want back
