We ain't lovers no more
We don't laugh no more
We don't play no more
We don't make up no more
We don't kiss no more
We don't hug no more
You don't please me no more
You don't touch no more
Give me chills no more
We don't go out no more
We don't kick it no more
We don't dance no more

I remember walking through the park
(Walking through the park)
Just shooting the breeze
(Shooting the breeze)
Kissing in the shade (ayy)
Those were the days
Lounging in the den
(Lounging in the den)
You get breakfast in the bed (in bed)
You let me have my way (whoa)
Those were the days

If you don't love me no more
Don't come 'round no more
Just don't call no more
Don't come knockin' up at my door
After ten or so
What you knockin' for?
We don't kick it no more
You ain't cute no more
You ain't fly no more
You ain't got it like that no more
See in you close your door
I still remember you

I remember walking through the park
(Walking through the park)
Just shooting the breeze
(Shooting the breeze)
Kissing in the shade (yeah)
Those were the days (hey)
Lounging in the den
(Lounging in the den)
You get breakfast in the bed (yeah)
You let me have my way
Those were the days

Those were the days (those were the days)
I said those were the days (I said those were the days)
Those were the days (those were the days)
What's up with this, baby?
'Cause you done changed on me (you done changed)
This ain't the way it used to be, baby, ohh

You don't know me no more
You can't lie no more
Ain't gon' try no more
Won't have to say goodbye no more
You gotta hit the door
Hate to see you go
I ain't the one to mess with no flow
Don't take pictures no more
Don't hold hands no more
Yo, I think this is the end of the road
But I still remember you

I remember walking through the park
(Walking through the park)
Just shooting the breeze
(Shooting the breeze)
Kissing in the shade (yeah, yeah)
Those were the days
Lounging in the den
(Lounging in the den)
You get breakfast in the bed (anytime you wanted it)
You let me have my way (yeah, yeah)
Those were the days

Walking through the park
Shooting the breeze
Days
Lounging, lounging in the den, in bed
Days
Those were the days (those were the days)
I said those were the days (I said those were the days)
Those were the days (those were the days)

    This song is a great depiction of how it feels like when the love is gone... it's easy to think of all the things y'all did as a couple when u look back (walkin in the park, etc)... but once it's over you've got to move on there's not much you can do except accept it....and every now and then, reminisce on how "those were the days".....

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
