[Verse]
I was a king with a cardboard crown
Chased the sun till it fell down
Built a fortress out of dreams and sand
Back then I ruled my own small land
[Chorus]
Oh take me back to the days I knew
When skies were wide and the world was new
No shadows crept no stories lied
Just young and free where the wild things hide
[Verse 2]
We painted skies with sticks and stones
Made every street feel like our own
The world was ours no rules no chains
A reckless dance in the summer rains
[Chorus]
Oh take me back to the days I knew
When skies were wide and the world was new
No shadows crept no stories lied
Just young and free where the wild things hide
[Bridge]
But the clock it ticks it doesn’t wait
The years they come and recreate
The boy I was in the mirror’s fade
Lost in the man that time has made
[Chorus]
Oh take me back to the days I knew
When skies were wide and the world was new
No shadows crept no stories lied
Just young and free where the wild things hide
