Remember way before the babies
Made our "always" turn to "maybe"s
And our "maybe"s turn to "sorry we just can't"s?
We were running strong each weekend
Never weakening the frequency of freedom
We were leaving up to chance
We were all evolving, self-involved, and didn't cotton to revolving
'Round the rotten crowds of other ones
And we were stars in our own eyes
Like diamonds stud the denim skies
So we'd befriend, defend and mend together
We may fade forever
But those denim days were never any better
When the ends were frayed we tied up all that mattered in life
Well, I knew at our reunion there'd be some that we outgrew
And even fewer who would test our memories
But we are woven through each other's lives
From times of tightened pockets
To a lot that make us go weak in the knees
And through thick and thin imperfect-fitting maturation rivets
Seemed to hip me to what joined us at the seams
And all indigo indignation fades to true blue saturation
We may fade forever
But those denim days were never any better
When the ends were frayed we tied up all that mattered in life
We may fade forever
But those denim days were never better
And friends like we are dyed into the tatters of life
Denim days will last forever
Denim days were never better
Denim days are treasures in this life
We may fade forever
But those denim days are never any better
When the ends are frayed we tied up all that mattered in life
