Lyrics & Translation

[English]

We used to talk all night and not say a word

When I would hop into your red Firebird

And, man alive, we would drive just to drive around, town

'Cause in your car we understood and figured out

That everything changes

Everything changes

Tell me why I look back and I wanna cry

Sometimes I feel like we grew up too fast

You and I had the time of our younger lives

Sometimes I sigh and think about the past

But it's alright, 'cause everything changes

A basement full of boys building homemade bombs

AJ cut his finger and said "go get your mom"

I saw it all through the windshield of my white truck, Troy

Lots of ups, lotsa downs, lots of growing up

'Cause everything changes

Everything changes

Tell me why I look back and I wanna cry

Sometimes I feel like we grew up too fast

You and I had the time of our younger lives

Sometimes I sigh and think about the past

But it's alright, 'cause everything changes

Hey Billy, remember when

It was just us (it was just us)

Pretending we were Nash and Coral

On the school bus

I wouldn't change a thing, 'cause everything changes

Life is different now and that's okay with me

I moved away and you started a family

But deep inside you and I are still the same, kids

'Cause you're my brother and that won't ever change

Even though everything changes

Tell me why I look back and I wanna cry

Sometimes I feel like we grew up too fast

You and I had the time of our younger lives

Sometimes I sigh and think about the past

But it's alright, yeah it's alright

There's a new guest room in my parents' home

The carpet got replaced a couple years ago

Because it isn't my bedroom anymore

There's new photographs on the freezer door

But it's alright, 'cause everything changes

(Everything changes)

We should talk all night and not say a word

('Cause everything changes)

Let me hop into your red Firebird, again
