Take Me Back

Lyrics

Verse 1
Wake me up young again
Back when my knees were scraped
Dirt on my shoes
And no bills to pay

We ran past the fence line
Laughing till the sun went low
Mom on the porch
Yelling, "Come back home"

Pre-Chorus
I miss that easy air
I miss not knowing where
All the hard days hide
Behind the corner square

Chorus
Take me back
Take me back
I wanna feel that all again
Take me back
Take me back
Before I learned how fast it ends
Back when my heart ran free
Back when the whole world fit me
Take me back
Take me back
To the old days with me

Verse 2
At school I stood in the hall
Acting like I didn’t care
You were by the lockers
I got stuck in the air

I saw you smile once
And I forgot my own name
I wanted to say hi
But I froze in place

Pre-Chorus
I thought you'd laugh at me
So I just let it be
A hundred little words
Stuck under my teeth

Chorus
Take me back
Take me back
I wanna feel that all again
Take me back
Take me back
Before I learned how fast it ends
Back when my heart ran free
Back when the whole world fit me
Take me back
Take me back
To the old days with me

Bridge
If I could talk to that kid
I'd tell him, "Go on, say it"
Don’t hide from a girl
Don’t let the moment fade it

You never know what stays
You never know what breaks
So I’m still reaching out
With these shaking hands I make

Final Chorus
Take me back
Take me back
I wanna feel that all again
Take me back
Take me back
Before I learned how fast it ends
Back when my heart ran free
Back when the whole world fit me
Take me back
Take me back
To the old days with me

Outro
Wake me up young again
Just for a little while
Let me chase that feeling
One more time
