Hey brother, do you remember when
We used to play outdoors
Til the light was absorbed by the night?
Hey brother, it was an innocent time
We used to laugh til we cry
We're still boys on the inside
(I want to do it again)
The first time staying out all night
The last that we got away with lies
I can hear it in the back of my mind
Over and over again
(I want to do it again)
Late nights and early lights
Never thought it would come to a goodbye
I replay it in the back of my mind
Over and over again
(I want to do it again)
Lala la, lala la la la
Lala la la la
(I want to do it again)
Hey lover, do you remember when
We would dance in your apartment
Til neighbors would knock on your door?
And I remember, you remember when
We had no money to speak of
No where else to eat but your floor
(I want to do it again)
The first time staying out all night
The last time you look me in the eyes
I can see that in the back of my mind
Over and over again
(I want to do it again)
Late nights, all entwined
Made a promise to never say goodbye
I replay in the back of my mind
Over and over again
All those days gone forever
Wonder if we're going to ever
See all our younglife friends that we made again
Have we all lost connection?
The life pulls in all direction
Memories bring us back to where we've been
(I want to do it again)
The first time staying out all night
The last time that we got away with lies
We can hear it in the back of our minds
Over and over again
(I want to do it again)
Late nights and early lights
Never thought it would come to a goodbye
We replay it in the back of our minds
Over and over and over
(I want to do it again)
Lala la la, lala la la la
Lala la la la
(I want to do it again)
Lala la la, lala la la la
Lala la la la
(I want to do it again)
Lala la la, lala la la la
Lala la la la
(I want to do it again)
Lala la la, lala la la la
Lala la la la
(I want to hear you again)
Lala la la...

This song is great. This song is about remembering the past and where you came from. Not regretting any aspect of it and wanting to go back, because it was worth it.
oh my gosh, the night i got this album literally like 20 mins before my best friend told me he was moving away, then i heard this song... and bawled my eyes out, because everything that it talks about in this song has happened to us... the dancing and neighbors, staying out all night, seriously, its like stephen wrote this song about our friendship... weird. "Never thought it would come to a goodbye" is exactly what i was thinking when he told me, then i heard this song... oh my gosh.
@ mrwonderr I don't think anyone yells that. Anberlin is a christian band, and I think they'd catch something like that.
I don't think so either, but remember, even Christian bands can be honest about their feelings. Just look at Haste the Day's "Perfect Night."

Great song. I can relate, because I recently moved off to college and everyone else from home stayed. Even the friends outside of school are somewhere else. The first chorus really reminds me of times with one of my best friends when we'd hang out outside our houses each night (he lived right across from my dad). So many memories coming back with this song.

It sounds like he says, "I wanna hear you again" at the end, not "Do you."
hahasnorlax, the last time they say that line, it is "I want to hear you again". I just usually get lazy when things are repeated until it fades to the end of the song, so I stopped after the first time.
I know, my comment was towards mrwonderr, because he thought they said 'do you' instead of 'hear you.'
Nice work tho, the rest is good.
I absolutely love this song. I'm 22, so I'm at the time of my life where I never see my younglife friends anymore. They're all having babies and planning marriages. It's so depressing but this song helps me re-live all of those memories.
The first time staying out all night The last time that we got away with lies We can hear it in the back of our minds Over and over again...
I wanna do it again!
Nice song, it brings back happy memories.
