[Verse 1] Flip phone flipping open Chargers hanging from the wall Cartoons in the morning Then we disappear outside Hand-me-down band T-shirt Grass stains on our knees Skipping every warning Till the daylight starts to slide [Chorus] Take me back to the old days Staying out till the streetlights hum We were kings in the cul-de-sac We were sure that the world would come Bare feet on the gravel road Sunburn shoulders Tangled hair Castles in the woods we made I still feel like I’m hiding there [Verse 2] Plastic mics in the living room Words half-wrong but we sang so loud (oh yeah) Controllers in a tangled knot Talking trash to make a crowd Reruns of that crazy show Dreamed our names in the credits roll Paused it when our moms called home Then we ran like we’d lose it all [Chorus] Take me back to the old days Staying out till the streetlights hum We were kings in the cul-de-sac We were sure that the world would come Bare feet on the gravel road Sunburn shoulders Tangled hair Castles in the woods we made I still feel like I’m hiding there [Bridge] Who knew that the last ride home Was the last time it felt that slow Now the weekends blur and burn Still that kid in me returns [Chorus] Take me back to the old days Staying out till the streetlights hum We were kings in the cul-de-sac We were sure that the world would come Bare feet on the gravel road Sunburn shoulders Tangled hair Castles in the woods we made Close my eyes and I’m still there
