In an Instagram post Joe Janiak explained the meaning of the song:
This song is about embracing and letting go of the past – Sometimes you can be so stuck in reliving old memories, and hoarding sentimental notions of nostalgia that you forget to look at what’s right in front of you. I wanted this s...
[Verse 1]
I know we've had our time in the sun
Thanks for the memories but I'm done
Don't want to talk about it no more
We've got another step to explore
Don't fret, you're not alone now
Cause I'm scared too of going home
In a casket in the back
Of a car that's painted black
[Chorus]
It was gone in an instant
Those days we'll never get it back
You're stuck in a moment
Don't leave it like that
They were gone for a reason
Those days, just leave them on the tracks
Cause I've got a feeling
Right now's the best you ever
Best you ever had
The best you ever had
[Verse 2]
We skipped the same old classes
Now we drink and we pay our taxes
Don't you talk now like everything was better before
Stuck in the past, just tell me you'll let it go
Don't trip, you're not alone now
Yeah I'm scared too of growing old
But I don't wanna try to turn it back
No
[Chorus]
It was gone in an instant
Those days we'll never get it back
You're stuck in a moment
Don't leave it like that
They were gone for a reason
Those days, just leave them on the tracks
Cause I've got a feeling
Right now's the best you ever
Best you ever had
[Bridge]
The best you ever had
The best you ever had
The best you ever had
Ooh
The best you ever had, oh
The best you ever had
Ever had
[Chorus]
It was gone in an instant
Those days we'll never get it back
You're stuck in a moment
Don't you leave it like that
They were gone for a reason
Those days, just leave them on the tracks
Cause I've got a feeling
Right now's the best you ever
Best you ever had
