Tobin Sprout explained the song’s meaning to an audience at the Horseshoe Tavern in Toronto: “It’s about […] a friend you’ve had all your life, and you just had a good time with them… all of your life… and did all the wrong things.”
[Verse 1]
Many years we spent unpressured
That we knew so swell
Love in times of simple pleasures
Only time would tell
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, this is not to say
We are not the way we used to be
[Hook]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 2]
And we were not so fond of reason
Everyone could tell
Even times we'd start to stumble
But never ever fell
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, this is not to say
We were not the worst we've ever been
[Hook]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Outro]
Fools and kings decide
Ways to live your life
This is just the way we want to be
