Another year goes by
Speeding as I drive
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
[Refrain:]
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 you back
Yeah, I remember that
Nothing wrong, the days were long
And the sun was warmer
Life's so short
And it goes by fast
And we'll never get it back
[Refrain:]
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 we're 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
[Refrain:]
In the world we knew
It was so simple then
Me and you
It was so simple then
