I Miss Those Days
Bleachers Lyrics
Yeah, we talk about getting older
But there's so much we haven't done yet
Some days, I'm not here, I don't get dressed
And I curse my bedroom but I left it all alone
'Cause all this time I'm runaway, runaway, runaway, runaway, gone
And everyone is changing
And storefront's rearranging
I picked up a quarter and I just saw my face
But it's all coming back now
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 and weekends still looking for a dream
Well, everyone is changing
And the storefronts carry weight now
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 changin'
And the storefront's rearrangin'
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

Bleachers' debut album Strange Desire was released July 10, 2014, from RCA Records. Variance Magazine called the single "Rollercoaster" a "brilliant summer anthem." Bleachers went on their debut Come Alive! tour, which features Night Terrors of 1927 and Joywave as opening acts, from March to April 2015. From there, they went on the Strange Desire World Tour from July to November of that same year. They juggled this with the Charli and Jack Do America Tour, a tour co-headlined by Bleachers and Charli XCX.
Bleachers' second album Gone Now was released June 2, 2017. Its lead single "Don't Take the Money" has been described by Atwood Magazine as "an epic uplifting pop-rock anthem ultimately about how when love is real, its worth everything that comes along with it". In celebration of the album release, he brought his childhood bedroom on tour with him. He had it dismantled and rebuilt inside of a portable trailer. During May and June concerts, fans could enter the "moving, living art exhibit" and listen to the album prior to its official release. Antonoff explained in a press release, saying "when I thought about where this album was coming from and what it’s kissing goodbye I thought of this room. I wished I could play the album for people who care about Bleachers in this space that it is coming from and leaving." The band was on its Gone Now Era: Part 1 tour from September to November 2017. The tour featured Tove Stryke, Bishop Briggs, and Tangerine as openers.
In September 2017, Bleachers performed on MTV Unplugged at The Stone Pony in Asbury Park, New Jersey. The live session was later released as an album, also entitled MTV Unplugged. The album features 11 tracks from both Gone Now and Strange Desire and was released November 10, 2017. Antonoff produced the soundtrack of Love, Simon, released on March 16, 2018. He contributed five songs, with four being credited to Bleachers—"Alfie's Song (Not So Typical Love Song)", "Rollercoaster", "Keeping a Secret", and "Wild Heart"— and one credited to his real name, a duet with MØ titled "Never Fall in Love". Throughout 2019, Bleachers released the third volume of Terrible Thrills in a series of four vinyl records, each featuring covers of songs from Gone Now by female artists as well as new demos by Bleachers.
In late 2019, Antonoff began recording the third Bleachers album. During this time the band embarked on a three-day "mini-tour" called the "I Love Making This Album but I'm Also Losing My Mind in Here & Need to Come Out and Play" Tour. On January 6, 2020, Antonoff announced on Twitter that a new Bleachers album would come within the year. In May, Bleachers was featured on Carly Rae Jepsen's song "Comeback" which was the first official release of the band in nearly two years. On the Bleachers Twitter account, a song called "Take the Sadness Out of Saturday Night" has been teased for months, and starting on November 14, 2020, a phone tree was set up for fans to call to hear clips from the song.
On November 16, 2020, Bleachers released the first two singles from Take the Sadness Out of Saturday Night, "45" and "Chinatown", the latter featuring Bruce Springsteen. The same day it was announced that the album will be released in 2021. "Stop Making This Hurt", the third single, was released on May 18, 2021. Take the Sadness Out of Saturday Night is scheduled for release on July 30.

Not Your Average Asian
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!
Skyler Seiben
Nah if your best memories were when you were at your lowest you haven't been to true rock bottom. He's specifically speaking about being young and in the turbulent tussle of the ever changing world. When you're young and lost its mystical and adventurous to be lost and still have motivation, drive, I dunno testosterone.
Bannih Khan
Sometimes we fall in love with the blue hour without realizing it....we hate when we are down but then when we finally get back in track after getting out of that depressive episode....we start to miss that time....its toxic love.
Cyranek
loved the song before it started playing
Tim Moon
hey its that guy
KushClarkKent
Because you miss those days.
Axl Winehouse
I know same here. Love it

Out of all places I see your comments, I didn’t expect them here
William Lindell Jr
I was just on a dunkey video that you commented on... You have good taste my man!
Olivia Thomas
I know Antonoff will never know how much his music has impacted me, but it's honestly changed my whole life. Thank you thank you thank you for such awesome songs in this sophomore album. It completely makes my day when I listen to your music.
