Halcyon Days (Where Were You Then?) Lyrics
Those halcyon days are here
They went away but they're back again
This glow never ends
I'm numbed out on bliss that comes on like a friend
And it's great
A fantastic waste of time
Life is long but it all moves so fast
You're first then you're last
Afraid of the future but I'm bored with the past
And it's great
Yea, it's great
It's so great
Remember when you wanted it all to end?
My last will and testament
Was full of things that I didn't really mean
I want to come clean
But these words are easier to write than to read
Or to say, my mood swings are severe
But halcyon days are here anyway
I'm held in your sway
The drug of you love has me slipping away
And it's great
Yea, it's great
It's so great
Remember when you wanted it all to end?
They went away but they're back again
This glow never ends
I'm numbed out on bliss that comes on like a friend
And it's great
Life is long but it all moves so fast
You're first then you're last
Afraid of the future but I'm bored with the past
Yea, it's great
It's so great
Remember when you wanted it all to end?
Was full of things that I didn't really mean
I want to come clean
But these words are easier to write than to read
Or to say, my mood swings are severe
But halcyon days are here anyway
I'm held in your sway
The drug of you love has me slipping away
Yea, it's great
It's so great
Remember when you wanted it all to end?

"A fantastic waste of time Life is long but it all moves so fast You're first then you're last Afraid of the future but I'm bored with the past"
This line sums up the whole song to me.
What the fuck is the deal? I have tried to edit and fix the lyrics to this song and it wont let me. Anyways, the "I'm healthy this way" lyric should be "I'm caught in your sway."
badass song
i love this song, especially the "fantastic waste of time" line, i used that on a girl, it was great.
I love this song because it has a deep meaning to me. It reminds me of my brother pastin and the change I overcome in the aftermath.
The entire album is basically about how fleeting fame is (hence the PJ Soles title) and this song is the coda.
It's a reminder that once upon a time, Local H were a big band with a big hit. Now, Scott & Brian have to fight to play any dinky bar they can get into. To feel like big shots, they have to take drugs and remember the good ol' days (at least Scott has to).
And in retrospect, they'd rather be a one hit wonder than nobodies. All the prior sarcasm at the time just feels naive and wasteful in hindsight.
"Remember when you wanted it all to end?"
Kinda sad, huh.
