Lyrics
(Verse 1)
Sometimes I find myself drifting back in time
To streets where we grew up side by side
We weren’t chasing anything, we were just being free
Becoming who we turned out to be
Vinyl on the turntable, future in the sound
Laughing at forever like it couldn’t let us down
Those memories still live inside of me
Still guiding who I came to be
(Pre-Chorus)
We didn’t know those nights would never really end
They’re still playing now and then inside my head
Time moves on, but some things never leave
They’re still a part of you and me
(Chorus)
We were living in the sound of those days
Never knowing they would never fade
Time moves on but it can’t erase
All the youth still shining through our veins
Every laugh, every scar, every dream
Still alive in who we came to be
Different roads, but it’s still the same
We hear our Side A when life plays again
(Verse 2)
Saving all my summer job money for the chance
To drop the needle on Elton’s latest Side A
TV back then made us believe
Those days were ours, we were happy and free
Gilligan and the crew could never leave that shore
Funny how we didn’t want rescue anymore
First time on a skateboard, wheels beneath my feet
You were right there laughing on that quiet little street
Crashing, getting up again, wearing little scars
No surrender in our bones, chasing who we are
We didn’t know those days would outlive where we’d been
But I can still hear Side A pulling me back in
(Pre-Chorus)
We didn’t know those nights would never really end
They’re still playing now and then in my head
Time moves on, but some things never leave
They’re still a part of you and me
(Chorus)
We were living in the sound of those days
Never knowing they would never fade
Time moves on but it can’t erase
All the youth still shining through our veins
Every laugh, every scar, every dream
Still alive in who we came to be
Different roads, but it’s still the same
We hear our Side A when life plays again
(Bridge)
Streaming never gave me what those records did
That brand new vinyl smell, the moments we saved
Dropping the needle, holding my breath in the groove
That little crackle meant the world was about to move
It was more than a song, it was where we had been
And I can still hear it now, like it’s pulling me in
Some things don’t fade, they just live inside
Like those nights with you when Side A was our lives
(Final Chorus)
Not trying to go back to yesterday
Just grateful that it never slipped away
That kid still lives somewhere inside of me
Just older now, and finally I can see
Every life gets its Side A to begin
Every soul gets a place and time back then
I’m still that kid in every song I play
Just older now… grateful for my Side A
(Outro)
Still that kid… just older now
Grateful for my Side A
