Lyrics
[Verse 1]
We were all bare knees
and paper crowns
Running through the yard
with nowhere down
You said forever
like it was air
I held your hand
like I’d live there
[Pre-Chorus]
Then the years came fast
like a summer rain
Took the names we knew
left the scars, the stains
Still I hear us laugh
through the shattered parts
Still I keep the keys
to those little hearts
[Chorus]
Back when we believed
(Back when we believed)
Back when we believed
we could keep the dream
We lost some days
We lost some skin
But we still stand here
with the marks within
[Verse 2]
I loved so hard
I hurt the same
Built little homes
out of nicknames
Some walked away
some stayed too long
Some bonds held tight
some broke along
[Pre-Chorus]
And I’ve been low
I’ve been torn in two
Had to learn my strength
from the worst we knew
But a bruise can bloom
if you let it heal
And a broken thing
can still be real
[Chorus]
Back when we believed
(Back when we believed)
Back when we believed
we could keep the dream
We lost some days
We lost some skin
But we still stand here
with the marks within
[Bridge]
I miss the fearless way
we said our names
I miss the easy grace
before the changes came
Still I’m not lost
I’m not done
I’m made of every loss
and every sun
[Final Chorus]
Back when we believed
(Back when we believed)
Back when we believed
and we gave our all
We lost some days
We lost some skin
But love taught us
how to rise again

Style
Pop ballad with steady mid-tempo pulse, soft piano arpeggios and warm kick-snare; verse 1 stays intimate and sparse, pre-chorus opens with rising strings and vocal stacks, chorus lands wide with full drums and harmony lift, bridge strips to lone piano and breathy lead before a final soaring chorus. Close-mic lead vocal, doubled chorus lines, subtle delay throws on key words, tape hiss and reversed swells into each section, bright polished mix with emotional depth.
