The Nights We Lived - Eli Lieb

When I was 20 I moved to New York City

Couldn’t wait to feel the pavement beneath me

Couldn’t wait to act just like a fool

I’m tripping home drunk with someone who was pretty

Not going to sleep until the light hits the city

Waking up in the afternoon

'Cause those were the days to remember

And those were the nights we lived

Making our lives to remember and say

Those were the nights we lived, oh-oh

Oh-oh

When I was 25 I buried my father

But before he severed the last of his karma

There was one thing he said to me

He said live your life like there’s nobody stronger

Live in love with your mom and your brother

'Cause nothing lasts except the memories

'Cause these are the days to remember

And these are the nights we lived

Making our lives to remember and say

These are the nights we lived, oh-oh

Oh-oh

When I was 29 I fell in love with a monster

Hidden in the sly cloak of a charmer

Plotting to destroy all of me

That’s when I learned what love and abuse was

Yeah I think I still have a few of his scars

If you look closely you can see

But those were the days to remember

And those were the nights we lived

Making our lives to remember and say

Those were the nights we lived, oh-oh

Oh-oh

Oh-oh

Oh-oh

But those were the days to remember

And those were the nights we lived

Making our lives to remember and say

Those were the nights we lived, oh-oh

Oh-oh

these are the days to remember (Oh-oh)

And these are the nights we lived (Oh-oh)

Making our lives to remember and say

These are the nights we lived, oh-oh
