[Verse]
Before the ashes
Before the cracks
When the sky was a soft shade of black
The world whispered
Not screamed
And I held dreams
Unbroken
Unseen
[Prechorus]
But the fire came
The fire came
Burned the edges
Left no name
[Chorus]
Oh
Take me back to when
To the girl I was back then
When the world was wide
And the nights were kind
No smoke in the air
No scars in my mind
Oh
Back to when
Back to when
[Verse 2]
I ran barefoot through the meadow’s seam
The sun kissed me like a golden dream
Now the ground cuts
The air bites
Every shadow sharp as a knife
[Prechorus]
And the fire came
The fire came
Turned soft whispers into blame
[Chorus]
Oh
Take me back to when
To the girl I was back then
When my hands were clean
My heart was whole
No weight of the world to swallow me whole
Oh
Back to when
Back to when
