The song is Nick recalling all these old memories that he shared with a close group of his friends. The adventures taken were mostly involving the old corolla that his friend owned, so when Nick looks back thinking about the car, he recalls all these amazing memories from his youth.
When we were younger, we got drunk a lot
Stole our parents’ liquor and drank it in a parking lot
And we felt in those days forever young
We spent the summers in Ryan’s car
That old Corolla was the best thing he ever bought
And we felt in those days forever young
[Chorus]
We thought everything was cool
We were stupid back then
We thought everything was ours
If only then we knew the truth
That we when get old, it gets hard
I think we’d stay forever young
Took the train to Boston and walked around all day
Without a dollar to our 14-year-old names
And we felt in those days forever young
[Chorus]
Smoking cigarettes, drinking alcohol
And kissing girls in the back of cars
We held the summer sun just like a water gun
And taking aim at shooting stars
When we were younger, we didn’t care as much about tomorrow
We just stood and didn’t give a fuck
‘Cause we felt in those days forever young
[Chorus]
When we were younger, we got drunk a lot
