[Verse 1: Tom Fletcher & Ximena Sariñana]
I remember playing games
Wishing we were older then
We were so much younger then
Those were the days
I remember holding hands
Thinking it would never end
We were so in love back then
Those were the days

[Chorus: Tom Fletcher & Ximena Sariñana]
Those were the days of innocence
And we were so naive
You would lie down in the grass
So tangled up in me
Always wasn't just a word
But something to believe
We had our entire lives to waste
Those were the days
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Those were the days
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

[Verse 2: Tom Fletcher & Ximena Sariñana]
Time was so much slower then
Seven turned to seventeen
Somewhere in the in between
Those were the days
Back before we realized
Hearts were small and fragile things
We said, "I do", with jelly rings
Those were the days
[Chorus: Tom Fletcher & Ximena Sariñana]
Those were the days of innocence
And we were so naive
You would lie down in the grass
So tangled up in me
Always wasn't just a word
But something to believe
We had our entire lives to waste
Those were the days
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Those were the days
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

[Verse 3: Tom Fletcher & Ximena Sariñana]
I still have the note you wrote
Said, "I'll miss you darling, be back soon"
Four pictures from a photobooth
You were laughing, I was kissing you

[Bridge: Tom Fletcher & Ximena Sariñana]
And kissing you
God, I'm missing you

[Verse 4: Tom Fletcher & Ximena Sariñana]
Nothing ever stays the same
Glad we didn't know it then
'Cause we were so much younger then
[Chorus: Tom Fletcher & Ximena Sariñana]
Those were the days of innocence
And we were so naive
You would lie down in the grass
So tangled up in me
Always wasn't just a word
But something to believe
And I still miss you in a thousand ways
Oh, those were the days
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Those were the days
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

[Outro: Tom Fletcher & Ximena Sariñana]
Those were the days
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Those were the days
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
