[Verse 1] We laughed in the back row Passing notes under desks Hallway floors and cheap cologne Shoelaces, scraped knees, tests Your hand on my sleeve once Then you slipped out of frame I still see that look you gave Like you knew my name [Pre-Chorus] And the years kept moving Like a train through the dark But some days still open Like a door to my heart [Chorus] Back when we had time Back when we had time We were wild and bright (Back when we had time) Back when we had time We were poor in cash Rich in every night (Back when we had time) [Verse 2] Sunday at my grandma’s Food on the plate Mom at the sink humming Dad cooking up the steaks Cousins on the carpet Tangled in a pile Old home videos shaking We all start to smile [Pre-Chorus] And the years kept moving Like a train through the dark But some days still open Like a door to my heart [Chorus] Back when we had time Back when we had time We were wild and bright (Back when we had time) Back when we had time We were poor in cash Rich in every night (Back when we had time) [Bridge] Now I see your face In a faded class ring In the gap between What I lost and what I keep I don’t want it back I just want one more second With the ones who held me up When I didn’t know I needed it [Final Chorus] Back when we had time Back when we had time We were wild and bright (Back when we had time) Back when we had time Every bruise, every laugh Made the good years shine (Back when we had time)
