Yeah... I was just thinking about back then. Sunlight bleeding through the plastic blinds The smell of summer rain and cigarette smoke We were driving nowhere, taking our time With the windows down and the radio broke You had a mixtape tangled on the floor We didn't need a map, we didn't need a plan I was just a kid who didn't know the score Holding onto your hand as hard as I can Oh, take me back to the golden hour When the world was just a bedroom and a street Before we had to pay for the power Back when life was just a dream and a beat I didn't know then that we were fading I thought the sun would always stay that low I miss the days that we were making God, I just wanna go, I just wanna go... Flip phone lighting up beneath the sheets Waiting on a text that took an hour to arrive We didn't know what all of this would mean We were just trying to keep the night alive Now the neighborhood looks so much smaller The trees are taller, the paint is peeling off the walls And Iβm just a stranger getting taller Wishing I was back in those empty shopping malls Time is a thief in a worn-out hoodie Stealing the years when I wasn't looking I'd give anything just to feel that kind of lucky Back when the future wasn't so overwhelming... Oh, take me back to the golden hour When the world was just a bedroom and a street Before we had to pay for the power Back when life was just a dream and a beat I didn't know then that we were fading I thought the sun would always stay that low I miss the days that we were making God, I just wanna go, I just wanna go... (Take me back...) (Take me back...) [A distant, pitch-shifted vocal sample hums a melody from the background] Just a dream and a beat... The radio broke... We were driving nowhere... I didn't know we were fading.
