"Never Get It Back" lyrics

You live in that three bedroom, two bath house your whole life
Think that you'll never grow up, then you're packin' up
Puttin' boxes into the back in your parents' driveway
You drive too slow, and leave the only home you know

'Cause times like these, they go too fast
You blink like that
And you never get it back, never get it back
Hold today like it's your last
Once you let go
And you never get it back, never get it back

Soak it all in while you can
'Cause one of these seconds, you can't
So don't let it slip through your hands
I replay all of your voicemails to remind me
What you sound like, and I still smile
I'd give anything to drive halfway across this country
To feel you hug me
To hear you say you love me

'Cause times like these, they go too fast
You blink like that
And you never get it back, never get it back
Hold today like it's your last
Once you let go
And you never get it back, never get it back

Hold 'em close, let 'em know
Don't hold nothing back
I don't know and you don't know
Just how long we have
Hold 'em close, let 'em know
Don't hold nothing back
I don't know and you don't know
Just how long we have

'Cause times like these, they go too fast
You blink like that
And you never get it back, never get it back
Hold today like it's your last
Once you let go
And you never get it back, never get it back

Soak it all in while you can
'Cause one of these seconds, you can't
So don't let it slip through your hands, yeah
Oh-oh, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, ah
