We were kids on that sylvan street where you lived
There were fears, but they were never ours for those years
Like your grandpa's car broken down
by your front door stairs
We were never meant to move, life couldn't touch us there

Do your hands shake when you think of the ways we lived?
Does your heart ache just to turn back the pages again?
Back to dan and jose teasing us in your basement chairs
Back to braeburn days and
The way best friends were better there
Nothing gold ever cared

And I know we said we'd never change
In our back yard world we knew we'd stay the same
But those times were fleeting like the summer days
We were bodies of water
Destined to flow our separate ways
Do your hands shake when you think of the ways we lived?

Does your heart ache just to turn back the pages again?
Back to dan and jose teasing us in your basement chairs
Back to braeburn days and the way
Best friends were better there
(We let it slip away)

We didn't earn these smiles
And we didn't earn life's easier miles
But we were the best friends
The world had seen from a while
We didn't earn these smiles
And we didn't earn life's easier miles
But we were the best friends
Yeah we were the best friends

Do your hands shake when
You think of the ways we lived?
Does your heart ache just to turn back the pages again?
Do your hands shake when you think of the ways we lived?
Does your heart ache just to turn back the pages again?
'Cause my hands shake when I think of the ways we lived
'Cause my heart aches just to turn back the pages again
