On Twitter, Jack explained the meaning behind the song:
It’s about how in the seemingly lowest points of you’re life, it’s kinda the best. You know, you’ve got no money, you’re driving in an old van, no one’s coming to the shows, no direction, no one gives a shit, but those were kinda the days. Som...
[Verse 1]
Yeah, we talk about getting older
But there's so much we haven't done yet
Some days, I'm not here, I don't get dressed
And I curse my bedroom, but I left it all alone
'Cause all this time I'm runaway, runaway, runaway, runaway, gone
[Pre-Chorus]
And everyone is changing, and storefront's rearranging
I picked up a quarter and I just saw my face
But it's all coming back now, like the feeling isn't over
Hey, I know I was lost, but I miss those days
[Chorus]
I said, la-la-la-la-la-la-lost
But I miss those days
Well, I'm talking, la-la-la-la-la-la-lost
But I miss those days
Come on, now
Yeah
[Verse 2]
Those days when I'd sit on my sister's rooftop
Watching our city burn into the night
I'm not sure that we were meant to survive
I was sixteen in a van driving myself to Florida
Part of me never left that seat 'cause
Nights and weekends still looking for a dream
[Pre-Chorus]
Well, everyone is changing, and the storefronts carry weight now
I'm sorry that you saw me when I lost my way
But it's all coming back, yeah, like the feeling isn't over
Hey, I know I was lost, but I miss those days
[Chorus]
I said, la-la-la-la-la-la-lost
But I miss those days
Well, I'm talking, la-la-la-la-la-la-lost
But I miss those days (Lost)
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
(But it feels)
It feels like everyone is changing and storefronts rearranging
I picked up a quarter and I just saw my face
But it's all coming back now, that the feeling isn't over
Hey, I know I was lost, but I miss those days
I know I was lost, but I miss those, come on
Hey, I know I was lost, but I miss those days (Hey)
[Chorus]
I say, la-la-la-la-la-la-lost
But I miss those days (Woo)
Well, I'm talkin', la-la-la-la-la-la-lost
But I miss those days, yeah
I said, la-la-la-la-la-la-lost
But I miss those days
Well, I'm talking, la-la-la-la-la-la-lost
But I miss those days
[Outro]
La-la-la-la-la-la-lost
But I miss those days
La-la-la-la-la-la-lost
But I miss those days
La-la-la-la-la-la-lost
But I miss those days
