Nights That We Needed

I swear I saw you just last week

You said it's been a year I think

Where did all the days go in between

I'm scared of getting older now

It's hard to see what's fading out

But John skips all the parties to tuck his kid in

What's the meaning of these struggles

Why am I alone again

My buddies told me to shut up

And just drink my beer instead

I can't help but think of dying

And if it's just us at the end

Then we're all alone together

That's the meaning of a friend

I miss the old days when our friends

Would drive around with no reason

Talking about how she left me

Those were the nights that I needed

We sang those songs on the highway

We sat too long in the driveway

Talking about how she left me

Those were the nights that I needed

Lord knows that I've been weak

I stay up late to cry and sing

Where did all the days go in between?

What's the meaning of these struggles

Why am I alone again

My buddies told me to shut up

And just drink my beer instead

I can't help but think of dying

And if it's just us at the end

Then we're all alone together

That's the meaning of a friend

I miss the old days when our friends

Would drive around with no reason

Talking about how she left me

Those were the nights that I needed

We sang those songs on the highway

We sat too long in the driveway

Talking about how she left me

Those were the nights that I needed

Those were the nights that I needed

Those were the nights that I needed

I just wanna be 16 again, with my old friends

Taking pictures for the moments that I'll forget

Fall in love looking up but we always-

(Those were the nights that I needed)

I just wanna be 18 again, when highschool ends

All the girls that still hate me but say we're friends

Spend every night with the boys before were men

(Those were the nights that I needed)

I just wanna be 19 again, still stuck in bed

Skipping class writing songs cause it helps my head

Now I only see my ex on the internet

(Those were the nights that I needed)

I just wanna be 20 again

With you instead

Hope it never ends

Hope it never ends
