[Verse]
The creek still runs behind the barn,
But it don’t feel the same.
The old oak tree has weathered storms,
Yet I can't shake the change.
[Verse]
The porch swing creaks beneath my weight,
Like it did when we were small.
But time has carved its heavy hand,
On faces and these walls.
[Chorus]
Oh, take me back to simpler days,
When the sun shined just for fun.
We chased the fireflies through the haze,
Back when we were young.
[Verse]
The gravel road is paved and smooth,
No dust clouds in the air.
I miss the crunch beneath my boots,
And the wind that tangled hair.
[Bridge]
I see us there, in faded light,
Barefoot in the grass.
The world felt big, the stars so bright,
But it all moved too fast.
[Chorus]
Oh, take me back to simpler days,
When the sun shined just for fun.
We chased the fireflies through the haze,
Back when we were young.
