[Verse 1]
Tickets on my wrist
Sun on my neck
You laughing at the goldfish game
Cheering my every miss
Sticky fingers
Powdered sugar
You wiped it off my face
You said
"Remember little moments
They’re the ones you never waste"
[Chorus]
Take me back to the fair
To the spin and the shine
Cotton candy time machine
Playful and blessed
In that Saturday sky
Like we’re living in a daydream
Time flies
Oh it runs right through my hands
But I still hear your voice so clear
Take me back to the fair
To the spin and the shine
‘Cause a part of you’s still here
[Verse 2]
Plastic prizes
Plastic rings
Felt like precious stone
You danced silly by the carousel
Made the whole place feel like home
Now I’m grown
Same old grounds
A little quieter in my chest
I see your smile in every ride
And I whisper
"I was so loved
So blessed"
[Chorus]
Take me back to the fair
To the spin and the shine
Cotton candy time machine
Playful and blessed
In that Saturday sky
Like we’re living in a daydream
Time flies
Oh it runs right through my hands
But I still hear your voice so clear
Take me back to the fair
To the spin and the shine
‘Cause a part of you’s still here
[Bridge]
I clap on the two and the four (oh yeah)
Try to hold on a little more
Every laugh
Every line on my face
Is a postcard from that place
[Chorus]
Take me back to the fair
To the spin and the shine
Cotton candy time machine
Playful and blessed
In that Saturday sky
Like we’re living in a daydream
Time flies
And it won’t turn back around
But I keep you with me
Near
Take me back to the fair
To the spin and the shine
‘Cause a part of you’s still here (still here)
