Echoes of Yesterday

[Verse 1]
I see the shadow of a younger me,
Running wild where the fields were free.
Barefoot dreams and the laughter loud,
Two best friends, we stood so proud.

[Pre-Chorus]
But the years, they stole the sound,
And I barely looked around.
The world kept spinning fast,
And I let the moments pass.

[Chorus]
I miss the child I used to be,
The boy who lived so fearlessly.
I miss the nights beneath the stars,
The echoes of who we are.
I should’ve held on, I should’ve stayed,
But time just slipped away.

[Verse 2]
I lost the stories, I lost the games,
The fireflies and the secret names.
Now I look back with a heavy heart,
Wondering when we fell apart.

[Pre-Chorus]
Did you feel the same decline,
As the days erased the shine?
We grew old, but never wise,
Chasing ghosts with tired eyes.

[Chorus]
I miss the child I used to be,
The boy who lived so fearlessly.
I miss the nights beneath the stars,
The echoes of who we are.
I should’ve held on, I should’ve stayed,
But time just slipped away.

[Bridge]
If I could turn the clock once more,
Run through that open door,
I’d live it all, I’d make it last,
Instead of watching years rush past.

[Chorus]
I miss the child I used to be,
The boy who lived so fearlessly.
I miss the bond that never dies,
The truth still burning in our eyes.
I should’ve held on, I should’ve stayed,
But time just slipped away.

[Outro]
Now I stand in yesterday’s rain,
Longing to feel alive again.
A voice inside still calls my name,
The child within remains.
