Lyrics
[chorus] (emotional hook) Take me back in time To the place I want to stay Take me back home Never let me get away I miss the days when things were good And I was in my prime They say that home isn't just a place It can also be a time Like the last time that I saw you was back in twenty twelve At the time I was still young and barely knew myself We hung out for the summer We were together every day I thought it would last forever Thought it would never go away The leaves were changing colors and the breeze was getting cold I said I'd see you later A lie I accidentally sold You said you'd come by tomorrow and walked home with your friend To this day I can't believe it in the blink of an eye how things end [chorus] (emotional hook) Take me back in time To the place I want to stay Take me back home Never let me get away We carved a heart into a tree And carved our names inside That tree was removed long ago That memory has died I moved away Those many years ago It felt like yesterday Where did all the time go? I visit that place quite often Though everything has changed The park benches are gone now Everything's been rearranged Did any of you miss me Did life get in the way? Did everyone forget me? Or was there nothing left to say? When the sun comes back and flowers bloom I drive back to that special place That brings me peace in solitude But brings such a heavy empty space I still walk down those side streets Where we were young and free I once had a whole flock of friends but now it is only me [chorus] (emotional hook) Take me back in time To the place I want to stay Take me back home Never let me get away The roads are now brand new and The houses aren't the same The neighbors that I once knew Are gone as quickly as they came The place that I once called my home A long time ago Now is occupied by someone else I do not even know I wonder what would be different if I would have stayed How different things could be now From choices I have made I wish I could go back Back before I had to leave keep coming back to visit nothing With everything to grieve [chorus] (emotional hook) Take me back in time To the place I want to stay Take me back home Never let me get away I want to go home I want to go home
