[Verse]
Back in the day when the world felt slow
We had time to burn we had places to go
With a Walkman hum and a sunlit glow
We chased the wind we let it flow
[Chorus]
Back in the day oh back in the day
We laughed so loud we’d scare the grey
Back in the day oh back in the day
No map no plan we’d find our way
[Verse 2]
We danced in sneakers with untied laces
Wore neon dreams on our smiling faces
Time was a whisper it left no traces
But the echoes stayed in secret places
[Prechorus]
Tell me why we ran so free
Was it the world or just you and me
[Chorus]
Back in the day oh back in the day
We laughed so loud we’d scare the grey
Back in the day oh back in the day
No map no plan we’d find our way
[Bridge]
Flip the tape let’s rewind the sound
To days when love was all around
The sky felt closer the earth would sing
Life was a kite on a careless string
