All Night Long Days Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I didn’t know what nostalgia was
I didn’t know how memories were made
I didn’t know that the songs we sung
Would take me back here one day
I remember holding hands for the first time
I remember what it feels like to feel
We were young, but it wasn’t like
What we had wasn’t real
[Chorus]
Backseat in a hotbox Civic
Driving ’round Westlake, talking west coast living
Getting out soon enough someday
Taking you home the long way
Back then, when we weren’t so jaded
Swеar to god that I know we’ll make it
Saying I love you always
Back in our all-night-long days
[Verse 2]
You didn’t wanna talk about mе leaving
You didn’t think we could make it work
I said the distance is worth it even if it was gonna hurt
I remember singing, “Dark blue, dark blue” in the car
With you, with you, it was too soon to be making plans
But that’s just what you do when you’re
[Chorus]
Backseat in a hotbox Civic
Driving ’round Westlake, talking west coast living
Getting out soon enough someday
Taking you home the long way
Back then, when we weren’t so jaded
Swear to god that I know we’ll make it
Saying I love you always
Back in our all-night-long days
[Bridge]
All-night-long days
Yeah, we’ll sleep when we’re dead
All-night-long day
‘Til I called you from my bed
‘Cause we didn’t wanna say goodnight
We’re never gonna say goodbye
[Chorus]
Backseat in a hotbox Civic
Driving ’round Westlake, talking west coast living
Getting out soon enough someday
Taking you home the long way
Back then, when we weren’t so jaded
Swear to god that I know we’ll make it
Saying I love you always
Back in our all-night-long days
