[Verse] I walk through streets where echoes hum The air still smells like summer's drum A faded sign A broken light They whisper secrets of the night [Prechorus] The bricks are cracked but standing tall I hear my name inside their call [Chorus] I go back to the places I remember Where time burns slow like a dying ember The past still glows It won’t surrender I go back to the places I remember [Verse 2] A bench we carved with clumsy hands The ocean kissed the thirsty sands A laugh A tear A stolen glance The ghosts of then still love to dance [Bridge] Memory’s a thief and a friend Takes me back but won’t pretend It keeps the best It blurs the rest It’s bittersweet It’s all a test [Chorus] I go back to the places I remember Where time burns slow like a dying ember The past still glows It won’t surrender I go back to the places I remember
