[Verse]
I blink once and the world’s a blur
Familiar streets
Now they’re unsure
The faces fade
The skyline’s new
I’m lost in a maze I never drew
[Prechorus]
I reach for time
But it won’t stay
Slips through my hands
Like sand
Away
[Chorus]
Take me back to the old days
Where the sun stayed in one place
When laughter echoed down the lane
And love was simple
Not a game
Oh
Take me back
Take me back again
[Verse 2]
The clocks don’t tick
They scream and run
Tomorrow’s here before today’s done
The music’s changed
The rhythm’s strange
I miss the melodies that never aged
[Prechorus]
I call out loud
But the echoes fade
The past is a ghost I can’t persuade
[Chorus]
Take me back to the old days
Where the moonlight kissed my face
When dreams were real and fears were few
When I could just be me and you
Oh
Take me back
Take me back
It’s true
