I ignored my every instinct
Went back there the next day
Fancied myself brave
Now stupid's what I'd say
Now I punish myself daily
For the actions of a child
Me and that selfish fool
Have yet to reconcile
They say these are
The best years of our lives
I hope that's just
Another of their lies
'Cause if it's all downhill from here
We have so much more to fear
The man across the bar
Longs for his college years
Before his friends got married
And his belly showed the beer
Wonder does he remember
All those good times how they were?
Or do they just keep looking better
As the pictures fade and blur
They say these are
The best years of our lives
I hope that's just
Another of their lies
'Cause if it's all downhill from here
We have so much more to fear
If it's all downhill from here
If it's all downhill from here
We have so much more to fear
