lyrics

I clumsily stumbled through my teenage bliss
I learned a few good lessons
Got my first real kiss
She was a sweet natured quiet girl
She taught me how not to look at this great big world

These are the best years of my life
I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for that time
These are the best years of my life
I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for that time

I found myself a girl with a mind of her own
She held my heart in her hand but
Left my body alone
I took a gamble on this thing called love but
I got just what I paid for and not what I dreamed of

These are the best years of my life
I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for that time
These are the best years of my life
I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for that time

I woke up from expectation now I'm living the dream
Realized the conversation wasn't always about me
Won't hold back, running full steam
Twenty years later I'm right where I want to be

These are the best years of my life
I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for that time
These are the best years of my life
I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for that time
I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for that time
I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for that time
