I Just Want To Go Back

[Chorus] I just wanna go back to the days I was small Game Boy light in the dark, that’s all Walking through the grass, waiting for a sign Wish I could pause time, wish I could rewind I just wanna go back to the days I was small Game Boy light in the dark, that’s all Walking through the grass, waiting for a sign Wish I could pause time, wish I could rewind [Verse 1] Blanket over my head, glow on my face Didn’t care about the world, I was safe in that place Little creatures in the screen felt more like friends Never thought those nights would ever have an end Trade link cable with the kid next door Now he’s gone but his ghost still lives in my store Cartridge in the drawer, dust in my hand Pressing start again just to feel who I am [Chorus] I just wanna go back to the days I was small Game Boy light in the dark, that’s all Walking through the grass, waiting for a sign Wish I could pause time, wish I could rewind [Verse 2] Now nights feel long and the glow’s not the same Scrolling through my phone but it’s empty in the frame Used to fight battles where no one could bleed Now I fight battles I don’t really need Save file lost but the memory stays Pajamas at noon in the old school days If there’s a world where the clock stands still I’d be that kid with the handheld thrill [Chorus] I just wanna go back to the days I was small Game Boy light in the dark, that’s all Walking through the grass, waiting for a sign Wish I could pause time, wish I could rewind [verse] I let the handheld go, but it wasn’t the game Life started shifting, nothing felt the same Voices in the hall cut deep in my skin Trying to fit in but I never win Last time I was happy was back in that age Now I wake up heavy, stuck in the cage Phone in my hand, glow feels cold Scrolling through lives that I’ll never hold Perfect smiles on a screen I don’t trust All these faces but it’s only dust No tall grass here, no rare find Just a world that’s darker in my mind Used to feel safe with a team by my side Now I just hide, nowhere to ride The light on the phone don’t take me away Just reminds me I’m alone every day I just wanna go back, don’t feel like this Back to a time where I knew what bliss is Before the words hit, before I grew old Before my fire turned into cold [Chorus / Outro] I just wanna go back to the days I was small Game Boy light in the dark, that’s all Walking through the grass, waiting for a sign Wish I could pause time, wish I could rewind…
