We were kids on that sylvan street where you lived
There were fears, but they were never ours for those years
Like your Grandpa's car broken down by your front door stairs,
We were never meant to move, life couldn't touch us there

Do your hands shake when you think of the ways we lived?
Does your heart ache just to turn back the pages again?
Back to Dan and Jose teasing us in your basement chairs
Back to Braeburn days and the way best friends were better there
Nothing gold ever cared

And I know we said we'd never change,
In our back yard world we knew we'd stay the same
But those times were fleeting like the summer days
We were bodies of water,
Destined to flow our separate ways

Do your hands shake when you think of the ways we lived?
Does your heart ache just to turn back the pages again?
Back to Dan and Jose teasing us in your basement chairs
Back to Braeburn days and the way best friends were better there

(We let it slip away)

We didn't earn these smiles,
And we didn't earn life's easier miles,
But we were the best friends the world had seen from a while

We didn't earn these smiles,
And we didn't earn life's easier miles,
But we were the best friends,
Yeah we were the best friends

Do your hands shake when you think of the ways we lived?
Does your heart ache just to turn back the pages again?

Do your hands shake when you think of the ways we lived?
Does your heart ache just to turn back the pages again?
'Cause my hands shake when I think of the ways we lived
'Cause my heart aches just to turn back the pages again
Again
