We stay outside a little late
Talking like we've got all day
I look around and try to save
The way it feels to be this way

I close my eyes
To keep it alive

These are the days I want to remember
Hold them close
And keep them forever
Take a picture in my mind
Before it all slips away
I know someday we'll look back and say
These are the days

Friends are laughing soft and low
People I don't wanna let go
I take it in while we're still here
And keep it somewhere safe and near

I breathe it in
Before it ends

These are the days
I want to remember
Hold them close
And keep them forever
Take a picture in my mind
Before it all slips away
I know someday we'll look back and say
These are the days

I feel it slip through my fingers
So I hold on tight
Every little second
Feels like borrowed time I know I can't keep it
But I still try
To carry this forever
Somewhere in my mind

These are the days
I want to remember
Hold them close
And keep them forever
Take a picture in my mind
Before it all slips away
I know someday we'll look back and say
These are the days
