[Verse] Remember when our lives were simple Not so far away I think I could take it back if I could Just for a day I can't even remember how it felt to be a child The sun and wind were warm The sky was open wide [Pre-Chorus] Now I'm feeling heavy When I could be feeling light [Chorus] We were young and free Maybe now we're just old And I think I see The way that it's gonna go Because it don't come back Don't come back Don't come back [Verse 2] They say that it's just what happens when you grow up The colors start to fade and then it gets hard to trust So we pick a side and build up a wall But I still think that we could have it all [Pre-Chorus] So why are we fighting When we could be dancing all night? [Chorus] We were young and free Maybe now we're just old And I think I see The way that it's gonna go Because it don't come back Don't come back Don't come back [Verse 3] I remember when we couldn't stay out all night The very best thing we could do was take a drive Down an old back road where the river runs I can still see that moonlight shining on us [Chorus] Take me back to the time when we didn't have to worry 'Bout the things we didn't have or how fast we were going Wasn't thinkin' 'bout what we'd have to do to make a livin' Yeah Life was just easy back then Back when [Verse 4] Ain't it funny how when you grow up You're supposed to choose sides and make up your mind When half the things that they tell you to care about Don't really matter At least not to me now [Chorus] Take me back to the time when we didn't have to worry 'Bout the things we didn't have or how fast we were going Wasn't thinkin' 'bout what we'd have to do to make a livin' Yeah Life was just easy back then Back when [Bridge] When I think about the way it was And how it is now It makes me wanna go back to the good old days [Chorus] Take me back to the time when we didn't have to worry 'Bout the things we didn't have or how fast we were going Wasn't thinkin' 'bout what we'd have to do to make a livin' Yeah Life was just easy back then Take me back to the time when we didn't have to worry 'Bout the things we didn't have or how fast we were going Wasn't thinkin' 'bout what we'd have to do to make a livin' Yeah Life was just easy back then Back when
