There were days when the
city and those boys And
St Mark's and that noise
Were the only things
I cared about at all
Ran around arms wide eyes
shut Full of faith full
of luck I never ever
worried about the fall
It's been years since
the night or a band
Or simply holding hands
Made me feel like l could
burst apart and die
Now I'm feeling the way
I did then Yeah I'm reeling
again I don't have to say
you know the reason why
My heart stopped when
they played that song
Do you feel that too
God it's been so long
Whoa whoa whoa
Whoa You make
me feel like 1996
Whoa whoa whoa
Whoa You make
me feel like 1996
Those were days when
I'd make new friends
Cuz we had the same pins
that obviously meant we'd
get along One look at an
all ages show From a boy
I didn't know Was enough
to make me think I was in
love Back then every day
was exciting Every place
was inviting Everything was
fate and nothing was by chance
Not since I was that wild
skinny kid Have I felt like
I did When they all ditched
and we stayed out to dance.
You came close
I was trembling
Could you hear
my heart cuz it
was deafening
Whoa whoa whoa
Whoa You make
me feel like 1996
Whoa whoa whoa
Whoa You make
me feel like 1996
Boy the world hasn't felt so true
Like it did back then as when
I'm hanging out with you
Back before I had walked
through fire Before the road
got hard and my back grew tired
Summer seemed longer loving
came easier No one knew the
Strokes and everyone loved Weezer
Young and doomed but we didn't
know it yet We'd spill out of the
club drenched in other people’s sweat
Make me feel like it's real like
I'm up to my old tricks Make me feel
like that girl like I did back in 1996
My heart stopped when
they played that song
Do you feel that too
God it's been so long
Whoa whoa whoa
Whoa You make
me feel like 1996
Whoa whoa whoa
Whoa You make
me feel like 1996
