1996

There were days when the city and those boys And St Mark's and that noise Were the only things I cared about at all Ran around arms wide eyes shut Full of faith full of luck I never ever worried bout the fall It's been years since the night or a band Or simply holding hands Made me feel like l could burst apart and die Now I'm feelin the way I did then Yeah I'm reeling again I don't have to say you know the reason why My heart stopped when they played that song Do you feel that too god it's been so long You make me feel like 1996 Those were days when I'd make new friends Cuz we had the same pins That obviously meant we'd get along One look at an all-ages show From a boy I didn't know Was enough to make me think I was in love Back then every day was exciting Every place was inviting Everything was fate and nothing was by chance Not since I was that wild skinny kid Have I felt like I did When they all ditched and we stayed out to dance. You came close I was trembling Could you hear my heart cuz it was deafening You make me feel like 1996 Boy the world hasn't felt so true Like it did back then as when I'm hangin out with you Back before I had walked through fire Before the road got hard and my back grew tired Summer seemed longer loving came easier No one knew the Strokes and everyone loved Weezer Young and doomed but we didn't know it yet We'd spill out of the club drenched in other people's sweat Make me feel like it's real like I'm up to my old tricks Make me feel like that girl like I did back in 1996
