lyrics

I Want To Go Back

I want to go back
To the days life was easy
I want to go back
When everything wasn’t done
I want to go back
To the time I am missing
I want go back
And feel the warmth of that sun

Do you understand
That every plan
Collapses in the end
Then you’re left outside
High and dry
Trying to make amends

If you want me to
I’ve a gift for you
A way to ease the pain
There’s no needle
No pill
No cowardly thrill
It’s all inside your brain

And though the years cloud the memories
You never forget those simpler times

I want to go back
To the days life was easy
I want to go back
When everything wasn’t done
I want to go back
To the time I am missing
I want go back
And feel the warmth of that sun

As we’re travelling through
Cerulean blue
The decades passing by
We interphase
With older days
That long-forgotten sky

Feel the sun burn in
Your sheltered skin
As she pulls her dress up high
As her lips erase
All those wasted days
You remember who you are

And though the years cloud the memories
You never forget those simpler times
