See You Soon

Intro

There's an old song playing on the radio

Takes me back to places that I used to know

Funny how the years just disappear

Feels like yesterday when we were all still here

Verse 1

Saturday morning, cereal in a bowl

Cartoons on the TV, not a care in the soul

Bikes on the pavement, racing down the street

Sun on our backs and the world at our feet

Mama called twice, said, "You better get home"

One more lap around, then we'd leave her alone

No phones in our pockets, no plans for the day

Just a handful of friends and a world to play

Pre-Chorus

We didn't know how good we had it

Didn't know those days would fly

We were busy chasing sunsets

With forever on our side

Chorus

Take me back to the good old days

When the world was ours and we knew our place

Garage band playing way too loud

Laughing like kings in a nowhere town

Dancing till the morning, sneaking one last glance

Across a crowded room, hoping for a chance

I don't know where you've been, old friend

But I'll be seeing you soon again

Yeah, I'll be seeing you soon again

Verse 2

Cheap guitars and a secondhand amp

Banging out songs in a hot garage lamp

Somebody's brother had a party out back

We'd show up late and we'd never look back

Crushes and kisses beneath porch lights

Big dumb dreams on those Friday nights

A smile from you and my whole world changed

Funny how nothing ever felt the same

Pre-Chorus

We thought we'd always be together

Thought the road would never bend

We were young enough to call it nothing

Old enough to call them friends

Chorus

Take me back to the good old days

When the world was ours and we knew our place

Garage band playing way too loud

Laughing like kings in a nowhere town

Dancing till the morning, sneaking one last glance

Across a crowded room, hoping for a chance

I don't know where you've been, old friend

But I'll be seeing you soon again

Yeah, I'll be seeing you soon again

Bridge

Now the years roll on like an old freight train

Some moved away, some don't look the same

But I still hear those strings ring out

Still see those kids running all around

And if that old song comes on tonight

I'll raise a glass to the fading light

Here's to the ones we used to know

And all those places we called home

Verse 3

Maybe you're working some nine-to-five

Maybe you've got kids of your own this time

Maybe you still play that old six-string

Maybe you still remember everything

That corner store and the baseball lot

The summer heat and the parking lot

If you're out there somewhere under these stars

You ain't so far, you ain't so far

Pre-Chorus

We can't turn back the hands of time

Can't make those old days stay

But there's a little piece of who we were

That never went away

Chorus

Take me back to the good old days

When the world was ours and we knew our place

Garage band playing way too loud

Laughing like kings in a nowhere town

Dancing till the morning, sneaking one last glance

Across a crowded room, hoping for a chance

I don't know where you've been, old friend

But I'll be [Instrumental]

Seeing you soon again

I know I'll be seeing you soon again [Final Chorus]

Take me back to the good old days

When we had nothing but we had our ways

Bikes on the road and the radio loud

A couple of kids who could take on the world somehow

Here's to the laughter, here's to the tears

Here's to the friends we carried through the years

I don't know where you've been, old friend

But I'll be seeing you soon again

I don't know where you've been

But I'll be seeing you soon again [Outro]

Yeah, the years roll on

And the days move through

But some things never change

And I'll be seeing you

I'll be seeing you

Verse 4

Called up the old crew just the other night

Half of them answered, half let it ring twice

We talked about weather and we talked about work

Skirted the edges of what really hurt

Somebody's doing alright, somebody's not

Somebody's still holding on to that lot

Where we parked our bikes and we parked our cars

And traded our nickels for candy bars

Pre-Chorus

You know the years don't ask permission

They just take what they're gonna take

So I'm holding what I'm given

And I'm counting what I didn't break

Chorus

Take me back to the good old days

When a Sunday felt like it'd never fade

Screen door slamming and the supper bell rang

A whole lot of love in a house that was plain

Singing loud with the windows down

Driving slow through that nowhere town

I don't know where you've been, old friend

But I'll be seeing you soon again

Post-Chorus

Oh, oh, oh

Soon again

Oh, oh, oh

Soon again

Verse 5

I drove out past the field where we used to play

They built a strip mall where the oak tree laid

Stood there a while with my hands in my jeans

Trying to remember what it all means

But a kid rode by on a rusted bike

And it hit me harder than I thought it might

Some things get torn down, some things get rebuilt

But the feeling don't care, it just stays where it's spilt

Bridge 2

So pass me that guitar, let it ring one more time

For the ones who moved on and the ones still mine

For the boy I was and the man I became

For the friends who never even knew my name

And if you're listening somewhere out past the pines

Know I still keep your number right there in my mind

We were nothing but kids with a whole lot of sky

And I'd trade half these years for one more July

Guitar Solo

Chorus

Take me back to the good old days

When the world was ours and we knew our place

Garage band playing way too loud

Laughing like kings in a nowhere town

Dancing till the morning, sneaking one last glance

Across a crowded room, hoping for a chance

I don't know where you've been, old friend

But I'll be seeing you soon again

Outro

(Soon again)

(Soon again)

I'll be seeing you soon

(Soon again)

Wherever the road bends

(Soon again)

I'll be seeing you soon

Yeah, I'll be seeing you soon

I'll be seeing you soon

(Soon again)

I'll be seeing you

(Soon again)

I'll be seeing you soon
