Happy Days Lyrics

Down by the water

I saw you cry

Your first love has left you

All teary-eyed

Still you walk back up that road

With a sunset backdrop all around

And down by the water

You feel alive

Maybe when we're older

And we're looking back

And all the happy days are gone

When everything is over

And it's way too late

To do the things we could've done

Yeah maybe when we're older

And it's hard to face what reality's become

You'll wish that we were closer

But the happy days are gone

Late night bright streetlights

Light up the crowd

And even though I'm fucking terrified (fucking terrified)

I've stuck around

When you walk across the room

Heads are turning eyes all over you

Yet down by the water

You sit and cry

Maybe when we're older

And we're looking back

And all the happy days are gone

When everything is over

And it's way too late

To do the things we could've done

Yeah maybe when we're older

And it's hard to face what reality's become

You'll wish that we were closer

But the happy days are gone

They're gone

Oh they're gone

(Have you tried to take some time to find yourself inside your despair?)

Don't drown in memories

(Scared you'll never feel alive the way you felt back then?)

So where are you going my friend?

Maybe when we're older

And we're looking back

And all the happy days are gone

When everything is over

And it's way too late

To do the things we could've done

Yeah maybe when we're older

And it's hard to face what reality's become

You'll wish that we were closer

But the happy days are gone

They're gone

Oh they're gone

They're gone
