Take Us Back

Verse 1                       

I wanna feel alive again

I’ve got these wrinkles on my face

And I’m only 23

And that’s just speaking for me

You hit that certain age

You’re told to make a living wage

But I swear I just learnt my name

I swear I’m not to blame

You’re told no more fun

It’s off to work

You need to earn a dime

To have any worth

But I don’t play that way

And I’m always gonna say

 

Chorus                        

Take us back to when we were kids

We didn’t know how good we had it

Now we’re all just sick and saddened, saddened

 

Take us back to before we grew up

Before our problems blew up

We really needed that hey you heads up, heads up

 

Verse 2                       

What would you say to your younger self

Life’s like a paper plane

You don’t steer the way

You’re told no more fun it’s off to work

You need to earn a dime to have any worth

But I don’t play that way

I’m always gonna say

 

Chorus                        

Take us back to when we were kids

We didn’t know how good we had it

Now we’re all just sick and saddened, saddened

 

Take us back to before we grew up

Before our problems blew up

We really needed that hey you heads up, heads up

 

Bridge                         

And I keep telling myself

It’s gonna be ok, it’s gonna be ok, yeh

Even when the sky keeps falling on my head

I’m standing on my feet and reaching for the stars

 

Chorus                        

Take us back to when we were kids

We didn’t know how good we had it

Now we’re all just sick and saddened, saddened

 

Take us back to before we grew up

Before our problems blew up

We really needed that hey you heads up, heads up

 

Woah oh woah oh woah x 8
