Lyrics[]

So much harder to be honest
With yourself at twenty something
Wish I knew what I'm becoming
And felt the ground while I was on it

Hoping, waiting on a moment
Not knowing if it's coming or it's going, mhm

What if my best days are the days I've left behind?
And what if the rest stays the same for all my life?
I'm running with my eyes closed, so it goes
You live and then you die
But the hardest pill to swallow is the meantime
Are the best days just the ones that we survive?

Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh (Ah, ah)
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

If I had known to feel thе fire (Fire)
I would've thrown my arms up highеr (Higher)
Would've held on a little tighter
'Cause you don't know a thing you miss 'til it's behind you, mhm

What if my best days are the days I've left behind?
And what if the rest stays the same for all my life?
I'm running with my eyes closed, so it goes
You live and then you die
But the hardest pill to swallow is the meantime
Are the best days just the ones that we survive?

Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh (Ah, ah)
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

What if my best days are the days I’ve left behind
And what if the rest stays the same for all my life?

What if the best days are the days I've left behind?
And what if the rest stays the same for all my life?

Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh (Ah, ah)
Yeah, yeah, ooh
