As we age, we remember, regret, long for, and desire our childhood back. Those nights before bed, eating dinner with your family. Mom giving you a kiss on the head Dad tucking you into bed He reads you your favorite book You say "Dad, are there any monsters under my bed?" He makes sure you feel safe and secure before you sleep The next morning you awake, and crawl out of bed, already excited to eat breakfast. You eat your favorite cereal Your imagination feels so real, you are so innocent, so pure, so young. You don't feel alone. You never have. You play with your toys on the carpet near your coffee table and couch in the living room while cartoons play on the TV. *You don't know what you got. Til' it goes.* The magic of putting your easter basket out at night before easter, the magic filling you with joy. Waking up Christmas morning glancing at the presents under the tree. Grabbing your candy bucket, ready for candy Halloween night. Playing tag with your cousins Building pillow forts *Being Free* Growing up happens so fast. Now you cry yourself to sleep You feel lonely Jealousy strikes you often You are aware of our reality You long for that feeling of being a kid again *I do too.*
This is the most emotionally triggering, simplistically complex, passionately tranquil piece of literature I’ve ever read. Especially with the song playin in the background. Thank you for that. I miss my childhood more and more every morning I wake up notice that my life and the world are not the same as they used to be. I often get lost in my childhood memories when I’m high and whoever I’m smoking with always tells me I look sad-little do they know, before they broke my train of thought, I was the happiest I’ve been…since the last time I got high and thought about my childhood. I don’t know if you’ll ever see this but if you do, I hope you find some worth in knowing that you touched a completely faceless, nameless, and ageless stranger. Thank you!
This song always makes me cry. Reminds me of bus rides after basketball games when we would all sing at the top of our lungs. We'll probably never see each other ever again, but I miss my team so much. Love y'all.
I just graduated and this is the saddest thing I’ve ever heard...my life is changing and now I know highschool was the good old days😢 I want to go back so bad now but life keeps moving on and it feels overwhelming
hey what you are feeling is heard and valid. but the beauty is, each season of life that you enter has the potential to become the good old days. it's not to say the days you were just in were less meaningful, but beauty and goodness and memories aren't done being made.
I wish somebody would have told me babe Some day, these will be the good old days All the love you won't forget And all these reckless nights you won't regret Someday soon, your whole life's gonna change You'll miss the magic of these good old days I was thinking about the band I was thinking about the fans We were underground Loaded merch in that 12-passenger van In a small club in Minnesota And the snow outside of 1st Ave I just wanted my name in a star Now look at where we at Still growing up, still growing up I'd be laying in my bed and dream about what I'd become Couldn't wait to get older, couldn't wait to be someone Now that I'm here, wishing I was still young Those good old days I wish somebody would have told me babe That some day, these will be the good old days All the love you won't forget And all these reckless nights you won't regret 'Cause someday soon, your whole life's gonna change You'll miss the magic of the good old days Wish I didn't think I had the answers Wish I didn't drink all of that glass first Wish I made it to homecoming Got up the courage to ask her Wish I would've gotten out of my shell Wish I put the bottle back on that shelf Wish I wouldn't have worry about what other people thought And felt comfortable in myself Rooftop open and the stars above Moment frozen, sneaking out, and falling in love Me, you and that futon, we'd just begun On the grass, dreaming, figuring out who I was Those good old days I wish somebody would have told me babe That some day, these will be the good old days All the love you won't forget And all these reckless nights you won't regret 'Cause someday soon, your whole life's gonna change You'll miss the magic of the good old days Never thought we'd get old, maybe we're still young Maybe we always look back and think it was better than it was Maybe these are the moments Maybe I've been missing what it's about Been scared of the future, thinking about the past While missing out on now We've come so far, I guess I'm proud And I ain't worried about the wrinkles around my smile I've got some scars, I've been around I've felt some pain, I've seen some things, but I'm here now Those good old days You don't know, what you've got Till it goes, till it's gone You don't know, what you've got Till it goes, till it's gone I wish somebody would have told me babe Some day, these will be the good old days All the love you won't forget And all these reckless nights you won't regret Someday soon, your whole life's gonna change You'll miss the magic of these good old days
recently moved across the country, away from everything i ever loved. makes me think of my best friend. we're flying back this summer. can't wait to see her again ❤
I understand you, for real. I had someone who I thought would be in my life forever and that we trusted eachother. But sometimes the characters in our lives are only temporary. YOU are the main character, and each book of your life changes who you trust. Know you are loved and that you are never the only person alone.
This is my moms favorite song I go to Macklemore concerts all the time with her this song will forever be close to me everytime I listen to it I think of her someday I know this song will be super hard for me to even listen to I just hope it’s not soon
Bro fr I am starting to grow up now and thinking abt it I really don’t wanna because I don’t think I will every have as much fun as I did this year.the careless night,messing abt in school,annoying my siblings are just the little things
People are always so sad cause their childhood is over. However, I see this as an opportunity to move forward and be grateful for the past cause the journey isn’t over yet. (That sounds super cheesy but it’s true) You have a long life ahead of you so don’t look back
feeling so much better about my self lately. so my good people coming into my life and bad people leaving my life. this makes me think abt my dreams. a few years ago i would do anything to get there. there are so many more things happening rn that i just need to enjoy. everything happens for a reason. i’m just scared i’m gonna grow up and it will all be over
This song reminds me of graduation and looking at how i treated the teachers and how many times i got on the ngauty seat and how many times i got a straw and put spit balls in it
this makes me think about how mcyt will soon be going down in history because of its popularity. and my childhood soon coming to an end on the 18th. hey, share your childhood memories! I'll share mine first Talking to my best friend online for over a year and soon enough I'm going to be meeting him at vidcon in October '21 (I'm bringing an adult
I find it interesting how as we get older we become more understanding of the meaning behind songs
Fr!
Facts
Exactly
and they just get more and more relatable
This song makes me so sad I just want to live everything up right noe
As we age, we remember, regret, long for, and desire our childhood back.
Those nights before bed, eating dinner with your family.
Mom giving you a kiss on the head
Dad tucking you into bed
He reads you your favorite book
You say "Dad, are there any monsters under my bed?"
He makes sure you feel safe and secure before you sleep
The next morning you awake, and crawl out of bed, already excited to eat breakfast.
You eat your favorite cereal
Your imagination feels so real, you are so innocent, so pure, so young.
You don't feel alone. You never have.
You play with your toys on the carpet near your coffee table and couch in the living room while cartoons play on the TV.
*You don't know what you got. Til' it goes.*
The magic of putting your easter basket out at night before easter, the magic filling you with joy.
Waking up Christmas morning glancing at the presents under the tree.
Grabbing your candy bucket, ready for candy Halloween night.
Playing tag with your cousins
Building pillow forts
*Being Free*
Growing up happens so fast.
Now you cry yourself to sleep
You feel lonely
Jealousy strikes you often
You are aware of our reality
You long for that feeling of being a kid again
*I do too.*

This was just awesomely said.
😭😄
The slowed version makes it even more calming, this song also just gets deeper every time I listen to it ✨💔
I take so much for granted. This set me on the right path, thank you so so much
who are you talking to
This song always makes me cry. Reminds me of bus rides after basketball games when we would all sing at the top of our lungs. We'll probably never see each other ever again, but I miss my team so much. Love y'all.
This my nostalgia song lmao
Remember when we were younger? We paid no attention to the lyrics. I found out a lot of songs were either rlly freaking relatable or just d1rty af
I just graduated and this is the saddest thing I’ve ever heard...my life is changing and now I know highschool was the good old days😢 I want to go back so bad now but life keeps moving on and it feels overwhelming

@@AsherSmithFilms thank you so much for this
I wish somebody would have told me babe
Some day, these will be the good old days
All the love you won't forget
And all these reckless nights you won't regret
Someday soon, your whole life's gonna change
You'll miss the magic of these good old days
I was thinking about the band
I was thinking about the fans
We were underground
Loaded merch in that 12-passenger van
In a small club in Minnesota
And the snow outside of 1st Ave
I just wanted my name in a star
Now look at where we at
Still growing up, still growing up
I'd be laying in my bed and dream about what I'd become
Couldn't wait to get older, couldn't wait to be someone
Now that I'm here, wishing I was still young
Those good old days
I wish somebody would have told me babe
That some day, these will be the good old days
All the love you won't forget
And all these reckless nights you won't regret
'Cause someday soon, your whole life's gonna change
You'll miss the magic of the good old days
Wish I didn't think I had the answers
Wish I didn't drink all of that glass first
Wish I made it to homecoming
Got up the courage to ask her
Wish I would've gotten out of my shell
Wish I put the bottle back on that shelf
Wish I wouldn't have worry about what other people thought
And felt comfortable in myself
Rooftop open and the stars above
Moment frozen, sneaking out, and falling in love
Me, you and that futon, we'd just begun
On the grass, dreaming, figuring out who I was
Those good old days
I wish somebody would have told me babe
That some day, these will be the good old days
All the love you won't forget
And all these reckless nights you won't regret
'Cause someday soon, your whole life's gonna change
You'll miss the magic of the good old days
Never thought we'd get old, maybe we're still young
Maybe we always look back and think it was better than it was
Maybe these are the moments
Maybe I've been missing what it's about
Been scared of the future, thinking about the past
While missing out on now
We've come so far, I guess I'm proud
And I ain't worried about the wrinkles around my smile
I've got some scars, I've been around
I've felt some pain, I've seen some things, but I'm here now
Those good old days
You don't know, what you've got
Till it goes, till it's gone
You don't know, what you've got
Till it goes, till it's gone
I wish somebody would have told me babe
Some day, these will be the good old days
All the love you won't forget
And all these reckless nights you won't regret
Someday soon, your whole life's gonna change
You'll miss the magic of these good old days
this song is truly a work of art 💖
recently moved across the country, away from everything i ever loved. makes me think of my best friend. we're flying back this summer. can't wait to see her again ❤
“life is like a piano, white keys are happiness, black keys are sadness, but over time you learn that you need both keys to make music”
Why’s it always me that has to believe someone so hard to trust them to stay in your life
I understand you, for real. I had someone who I thought would be in my life forever and that we trusted eachother. But sometimes the characters in our lives are only temporary. YOU are the main character, and each book of your life changes who you trust. Know you are loved and that you are never the only person alone.
