"Golden Days" lyrics

"Golden Days"

I wish you would stop fighting
I wish I got more sleep
I wish there was more time for your mother and me

I miss picking up hobbies
I miss seeing my friends
I miss staying up late
And I miss sleeping in

But one day I'll miss picking up your (shh)
One day I'll wish I could go back here now
But time runs away and things have to change
These are the golden days

I still don't understand it
How it's so hard to see
All the beauty in something before it leaves

'Cause I can't quite find the edges
Or the whole shape of this love
It's happy and sad and proud and scared and everything all mixed-up

But one day I'll miss moments like this
One day I'll wish I could go back here now
I'll walk past your room and hum out this tune
Wondering how you're doing
But time runs away and things have to change
These are the golden days

But one day I'll miss moments like this
One day I'll wish I could go back here now
Why does time run away? Why do things have to change?
These are the golden days
