[English]

Do you recall the days at your old place?

Playing with Troll dolls to scare the kids away

My closet was a time machine, yours a stage

I wish we told those little girls they're gonna be okay

Still picture it all in my mind

Making the campfire out of broken flashlights

Jealous of your high tops 'cause someone stole mine

Wish somebody would've told me that we'd be alright

My kind of time's meant to carelessly spend

And my kind of nights are the one's that don't end

My kind of fun doesn't make any sense

And my kind of love you won't ever forget

My kind of time's meant to carelessly spend

And my kind of nights are the one's that don't end

My kind of fun doesn't make any sense

And my kind of love you won't ever forget

(This is of us? Yeah)

(We must have changed a lot, yeah)

(Tall, lack of purple hair, yeah, yeah)

(Definitely)

Do you remember all the cartoons at midnight?

Like the one about the crass humoured French guy

And what about you, Mister Poetry?

And what about all that we've built in just a couple weeks?

Talkin' 'bout all of our fears through a cracked screen

Picking little fights over falling asleep

I wish you knew I loved you and you knew you love me

Really wish I knew you sooner than my twenties

My kind of time's meant to carelessly spend

And my kind of nights are the one's that don't end

My kind of fun doesn't make any sense

And my kind of love you won't ever forget

My kind of time's meant to carelessly spend

And my kind of nights are the one's that don't end

My kind of fun doesn't make any sense

And my kind of love you won't ever forget

I'm a product of the who's, when's and how's

Those who let go and those who stuck around

I wish somebody would've told me I'd be here now

'Cause this kind of life is one to sing about (oh yeah)

My kind of time's meant to carelessly spend

And my kind of nights are the one's that don't end

My kind of fun doesn't make any sense

And my kind of love you won't ever forget

My kind of time's meant to carelessly spend

And my kind of nights are the one's that don't end

My kind of fun doesn't make any sense

And my kind of love you won't ever forget

My kind of love you won't ever forget

Wish somebody would've told me that we'd be alright
