Take Me Back

Do you still remember back when the days were longer
Our dreams were bigger then
The weight of the world had not yet
Landed on the shoulders of a man
(I thought) I thought that time stood still, sheltered, protected
They never told me this would end or that the leaves would fall again

So take me back
Back to better days
Because this time between has wasted me away
Take me back
Where we were not afraid
Because this time between has wasted me away

There was a day when this world went to war and didn't bat an eye
Real life and the movies felt the same to me and I never questioned why
(I know) I know the difference now, between fact and fiction
But I've come to find that I've grown bitter in just 24 short years

So take me back
Back to better days
Because this time between has wasted me away
Take me back
Where we were not afraid
Because this time between has wasted me away

Wasted me away
Waste away

So now we're running
We're running blind into the light
We fall behind
We're running and wasting away with time

So take me back
Back to better days
Because this time between has wasted me away
Take me back
Where we were not afraid
Because this time between has wasted me away
Take me back
Yeah, back to better days
Because this time between has wasted me away
Take me back
Where we were not afraid
Because this time between has wasted me away

Yeah, take me back
Just take me back
Yeah, take me back
Yeah, take me back
Just take me back
Yeah, take me back
Where we were not afraid
