[Verse 1] We spent whole summers killing time Like we had boxes full of it Made plans we'd laugh about now But back then we were serious Every night felt like the start of something Every door looked worth walking through We were all gonna be somebody Funny thing... we all did [Pre-Chorus] Nobody told us the days we'd miss Would feel so ordinary then [Chorus] Back when we were bulletproof When the future couldn't get here fast enough When forever wasn't something you earned It was something you just assumed Back when we were bulletproof When goodbye was only till tomorrow And the people standing next to you Felt like they'd always be around We didn't know we were making memories We thought we were just killing time Back when we were bulletproof [Verse 2] There was a girl I swore I'd marry For about a year and a half Now I can't remember her perfume But I still remember her laugh There were friends I couldn't imagine Ever losing track of someday Now I see them in a photograph More than I see them face to face [Pre-Chorus] Funny what survives the years And what disappears without a sound [Chorus] Back when we were bulletproof When the future couldn't get here fast enough When forever wasn't something you earned It was something you just assumed Back when we were bulletproof When every road looked wide open And every mistake felt small enough To laugh about by the weekend We didn't know we were making memories We thought we were just killing time Back when we were bulletproof [Bridge] I don't miss being young I miss that version of the world When everybody hadn't scattered yet When possibility filled every room When a random Tuesday night Could end up becoming a story You'd still be telling thirty years later [Final Chorus] Back when we were bulletproof When we measured life in weekends And counted years like they'd never run out And somehow they all did Back when we were bulletproof When the best days didn't need a name They were just another day we'd live And never think twice about The older I get The more I find the truth The good old days weren't waiting somewhere ahead They were happening Back when we were bulletproof
