[Verse 1]
Back when the whole block smiled
Back when the day felt wide
Old school kicks on the court
Dust on the line outside
You had that grin like gold
I had that chipped-up bike
We used to race the fence
Till the porch light blinked twice
No phones in our hands
Just paint on the fingertips
Bare feet on the grass
And the summer air in our ribs
Now I look back hard
At the way it used to flow
Small town, loud laughs
And we never needed more
[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me you still remember
How the whole world fit right
We was broke, we was happy
Still stayed out all night
Now the frame gone quiet
But the picture still shines
If I close my eyes
I can find that time
[Chorus]
Back when it was ours
Back when it was ours
We were young and free
Back when it was ours
Back when it was ours
Back when it was ours
If I call that name
Do you still see me?
[Verse 2]
I remember that ditch by the field
We’d laugh till we couldn’t stand
Your mama yelling “come in”
While we hid in the sprinkler spray
Cereal for dinner, no shame
Cardboard goals in the heat
You said “one day we’ll be big”
But we stayed at seventeen
Now the road got long
And the faces changed up fast
Still I keep that spark
Like a match in a glass
If life been cold to you
If your heart got worn and torn
Meet me where we used to be
I still know that porch
[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me you still remember
How the whole world fit right
We was broke, we was happy
Still stayed out all night
Now the frame gone quiet
But the picture still shines
If I close my eyes
I can find that time
[Chorus]
Back when it was ours
Back when it was ours
We were young and free
Back when it was ours
Back when it was ours
Back when it was ours
If I call that name
Do you still see me?
[Bridge]
I ain’t chasing ghosts
I’m just chasing that flame
One good memory
Can still say your name
If you feel that pull
When the night goes still
Meet me halfway back
By the old field hill
[Chorus]
Back when it was ours
Back when it was ours
We were young and free
Back when it was ours
Back when it was ours
Back when it was ours
If I call that name
Do you still see me?
