You Had To Be There

作曲 : Ben Williams/Micah Carpenter/Mackenzie Carpenter

Five girls in the mirror puttin' makeup on

There's boys downstairs playin' drinkin' songs

Circled up 'round a hand-me-down guitar

Singin', "Oh-oh-oh"

Brand-new boots that we're 'bout to break in

Bought some nosebleed seats, summer money well spent

Parkin' lot, take a shot, steal a kiss

And we're ready to go

I see the lights, I hear the band

Feels like the whole world's in our hands

Soakin' it up, breathin' it in

One day we'll say, "Remember when

We were so alive?"

I swear that night there was magic in the air

You had to be there

Seven years later, got a different point of view

Got a sound check in ten and my own dressin' room

Goin' 'round the world with the king of no shoes

Singin', "Oh-oh-oh"

Can't tell you how fast time's gonna fly by

Keep your heart on your sleeve, and your chin held high

Baby, hold on tight

Don't let go

I see the lights, I hear the band

Feels like the whole world's in our hands

Soakin' it up, breathin' it in

One day we'll say, "Remember when

We were so alive?"

I swear that night there was magic in the air

You had to be there (you had to be there)

Oh, you had to be there

We made the memories, we've got the pictures

But you had to be there

You can't fake it, that kind of feelin'

You had to be there

I see the lights, I hear the band

Feels like the whole world's in our hands

Soakin' it up, breathin' it in

One day we'll say, "Remember when

We were so alive?"

I swear that night there was magic in the air

We were so alive

I swear that night there was magic in the air

You had to be there (you had to be there)

Oh, you had to be there (you had to be there)

And oh, we were there

We were there, we were there

You had to be there
