I Miss Those Days
Bleachers Lyrics

Yeah, we talk about getting older
But there's so much we haven't done yet
Some things, I'm not here, I don't get dressed
And I cursed my bedroom but I left it all alone
'Cause all this time I'm runaway, runaway, runaway, runaway, gone

And everyone is changing
And the 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

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
Yeah

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 that we could stand up before a dream

Well everyone is changing
And the storefronts carry weight now
And 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

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

It feels like everyone is changing
And the 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
I know I was lost but I miss those, come on
Hey, I know I was lost but I miss those days

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
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
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

Yeah, we talk about getting older

Fun fact: Jack said that when he wrote this song, the idea behind it was about looking back at when you were at the lowest point in your life and how you had nothing going for you but how you kinda miss those days because you have so many memories about those times!

I have soaked up all of his lyrics which makes me know he’s an amazing human being. He just expresses so much heart in his music while maintaining sick music. A genuine musician.

I FEEL THIS IN MY SOUL! Even at my worst times, i find myself missing those moments. I was planning to kill myself and cutting myself but i miss the days? i miss the breaking down with my dog at night and waking up with only 1 hour of sleep and listening to the most depressing music. I miss crying silently in the back seat of my parents car and talking to my counselor about my depression and my traumas. I was 16 when it was the worst time for my mental health and i miss having the, "well im young i can still do something with my life maybe" thought and now im 21 and my depression has gotten better, at least better than it was since im here today but my anxiety is worse. I never thought i'd be someone to rant in the comments lol but oh well. Im alone but i don't mind most times.

this song reminds me so much of my a level experience, the two years before my 18th birthday and a few months following. i hated school for the first time ever really, yet they are the times i look back at most fondly. i was definitely 'lost' as i was losing the person i thought i was, yet i began to travel with my best friends and created amazing memories, walking the streets drinking, laughing the whole day through, feeling on top of the world. it is the last time i truly felt free. this isn't a sad song for me, just reminiscent for the end of my childhood that i will always be grateful for and hold dear. i can relate to every single line, and i think if i had a theme song for my life at now 20, this would always be it.

this is the song of my life.
it represents all of the things i’ve lost, earned, etc. it represents what i’ve become. it brings me nostalgia. I used to listen to this song everyday last year, I was so happy back then... now my life is a whole mess, but the memories make things a lot easier and so does this song.
