[Intro – Ambient Clean Vocals] Photographs collecting dust In a box beneath the bed Frozen moments of a life That only lives inside my head [Verse 1] I still remember summer nights Streetlights painting gold across your face We were young enough to think Nothing could ever take our place The future felt so close Like we could reach out and touch the stars Now I'm tracing old outlines Of who we were before the scars [Pre-Chorus] Time keeps moving on But some memories never leave They're stitched into my soul Like a wound that never heals completely [Chorus] Take me back to the way we were Before the silence, before it hurt Before the distance grew between our hearts Take me back to the way we were When forever was still a word We believed in with everything we had I'd give anything To see that version of us again [Verse 2] Now every road feels unfamiliar Every place reminds me of your name The echoes of our laughter Still linger in the pouring rain Maybe people change Maybe that's the price of growing old But some pieces of my heart Will always refuse to let you go [Pre-Chorus] Time keeps moving on But some memories never leave They're stitched into my soul Like a wound that never heals completely [Chorus] Take me back to the way we were Before the silence, before it hurt Before the distance grew between our hearts Take me back to the way we were When forever was still a word We believed in with everything we had I'd give anything To see that version of us again [Breakdown] THE YEARS KEEP PASSING BUT I CAN'T ERASE YOUR NAME Every promise Every heartbeat Every moment we shared STILL LIVES INSIDE OF ME I WATCH THE SEASONS CHANGE BUT SOME THINGS NEVER FADE (BLEGH!) [Final Chorus – Huge Cinematic Chorus] Take me back to the way we were Before the silence, before it hurt Before the distance grew between our hearts Take me back to the way we were When forever was still a word We believed in with everything we had And even if our paths Never cross again I'll carry the way we were Until the end
