Golden days! In the summertime Golden days Oh don't you wonder when the light begins to fade? And the clock just makes the colors turn to grey Forever younger growing older just the same All the memories that we make will never change We'll stay drunk,

Today I saw a boy And I wondered if he noticed me He took my breath away I can't get him off my mind And it scares me Cause I've never felt this way No one in this world Knows me better than you do

Pay attention to the cracked streets And the broken homes Some call it slums Some call it nice I want to take you through A wasteland I like to call my home Welcome to paradise Dear mother It makes me wonder why I'm still here

(It's a drive-in Saturday) His name was always buddy (got got do ah aah aah) And he'd shrug and ask to stay She'd sigh like twig the wonder kid (got got do ah) And turn her face away She's uncertain if she likes him (got got do ah aah aah) But she knows

You can do what you want as long As the curtain is high and strong We should be like this all the time For the Earth, one day will die Now that all these walls are down Wonder what I'll tell you Count the number of things you are See how long it takes you

Oh oh, oh, at least I'm not as sad as I used to be. Have you ever wondered about our old nu-metal friends and what became of them? Turns out I saw them a couple of days ago, They were laughing and drinking and smoking and singing. C'mon, can you count

And I wonder,yes I wonder,is this The way life's meant to be. Well I came a long way to be here today And I left you so long on this avenue, And here I stand in the strangest land Not knowing what to say or do. As I gaze around at these strangers in

Looking back on those days of thunder I shake my head and I have to wonder How we ever made it through that There's a road and a restless wind Ain't it good to feel that way again Here we are, the way we were A lot of trucks lined up down by the lake

And I think to myself what a wonderful world I see trees of green, red roses too I see them bloom for me and you I see skies of blue and clouds of white The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky Are also

Meadows of Heaven Meadows of heaven Heaven, heaven, heaven I close my eyes, the lantern dies The scent of awakening, wild honey and dew Childhood games, woods and lakes Streams of silver, toys of olden days The flowers of wonder And the hidden treasures
