Light Years - Back Then Lyrics

You and me are a different breed
Who cut our teeth on the same six strings
Another week another basement show
Breaking glass on dead-end roads
We were young and dumb and a little fucked up back then

Chasing girls from private schools
Sneaking into swimming pools
Rode our bikes all over town
And cops would always chase us down
We were young and dumb and a little fucked up back then
But I wouldn't change a thing

Yeah we were young, we burned it down
But the fire smoked us out
You were gone when I turned around
Nothing left for us to do now
And time it always wins
And good things always end
Now that it came and went
Everything was better back then

Headed west for the very first time
And the van broke down a million times
Didn't know where we'd sleep at night
It was the best time of our lives
We were young and dumb and a little fucked up back then
But I wish I could do it again

Yeah we were young, we burned it down
But the fire smoked us out
You were gone when I turned around
Nothing left for us to do now
And time it always wins
And good things always end
Now that it came and went
Everything was better back then

If it's a long way up, then it's a long way down
Yeah, then it's a long way down
Yeah, if it's a long way up, then it's a long way down
Yeah, then it's a long way down
Yeah, if it's a long way up, then it's a long way down
Yeah, then it's a long way down
If it's a long way up, then it's a long way down
It's a long way down
