[INTRO — soft bells, whispery vox, Polaroid click]
click… fwip…
Summer air, messy hair, nowhere we had to be…
Yeah, I miss that version of you and me.
[VERSE 1 — breezy, soft-smile tone]
Late nights, leaning on the hood of your car,
Talkin’ ’bout nothin’ like it mattered who we are.
Warm pads hummin’ like a heart on repeat,
Your laugh hittin’ sweet, soft and off-beat.
Downloaded songs on a cracked phone screen,
Dreamin’ too big, lovin’ too clean.
Glitter bells in the background rain,
Every moment simple, pure, insane.
[PRE-CHORUS — mellow lift]
And I can still feel the breeze
Through those half-open windows,
Chasin’ dumb little dreams
Like we knew where the wind blows.
But truth is…
We never cared where we’d go.
[CHORUS — nostalgic, glowing]
✨ Take me back when we glowed,
When the world felt small but bold.
When the sky hit pink and gold,
And our hearts ran wild, uncontrolled.
✨ Yeah, those moments unfold
Like a faded Polaroid we hold.
We were young, we were brave,
Didn’t think—just rode the wave.
Back when we glowed…
[VERSE 2 — playful, lightly rhythmic]
Clap-beat snappin’ as we danced in the street,
Bare feet on pavement, heat rising through our feet.
Silly inside jokes only we understood,
Like two kids pretending we ran the whole neighborhood.
Soft vocals floating like a summer-sworn truth,
Every look you gave had the warmth of youth.
We weren’t perfect, but oh, we were good—
Good in the way we always wished we still could.
[PRE-CHORUS — warm nostalgia swelling]
And I still hear the song
We kept on replay,
Didn’t matter if it skipped—
We loved it that way.
Funny how
Some things never fade.
[CHORUS — fuller, brighter]
✨ Take me back when we glowed,
When the world felt small but bold.
When the sky hit pink and gold,
And our hearts ran wild, uncontrolled.
✨ Yeah, those memories unfold
Like a faded Polaroid we hold.
We were loud, we were free,
Never cared who we’d be.
Back when we glowed…
[BRIDGE — soft, breathy, sentimental]
Maybe we changed, but I still know
The version of us from long ago—
The smiles we threw like confetti in air,
And the way you cared without trying to care.
If time could rewind just one small reel…
I’d go right back to the way we’d feel.
[FINAL CHORUS — warm, floating, soft glow]
✨ Take me back when we glowed,
When the nights felt bright and slow.
When the world was ours to hold,
And our joy was untold.
✨ We were wild, we were true,
Everything felt new.
Yeah, life moved fast…
But I’ll always know—
We were magic
Back when we glowed.
