[Verse]
The clock keeps tickin' like it’s runnin' a race
But in this old house
Time’s lost its grace
Faces drawn
Eyes like heavy stones
[Chorus]
Oh I want us back to smiles
Back to light
Where laughter danced in the kitchen at night
Back to smiles
Where love ran free
Bring back the days when we could just be
[Verse 2]
The table’s full
But the silence grows tall
A thousand words we don’t say at all
Used to be stories
Now it’s just the news
[Prechorus]
I keep hopin'
I keep prayin'
For a break in these heavy blues
[Chorus]
Oh I want us back to smiles
Back to light
Where the sun stayed warm till the edge of night
Back to smiles
Where hearts would sing
Bring back the days when joy had wings
[Bridge]
The pictures on the wall
They still hold their cheer
But the ghosts in the room are all I hear
What happened to the warmth
Where did it go
The cracks in the floor
They start to show
