[VERSE 1] I miss the days before the ringing Before the little screen lit up Before we knew what everybody Was doing, saying... thinking of We'd disappear into the afternoon With nowhere we had to be And if you wanted me, you'd find me You'd just come looking down the street [PRE-CHORUS] We didn't need a photograph To prove we were there We didn't have to share a moment Just to know that we cared [CHORUS] Take me back before the noise Before the world was in our hands Before we traded all our time For someone else's plans Take me back to summer nights And radios turned up loud To getting lost and finding home Without a map telling us how I don't wanna know what's happening Everywhere, all of the time I just wanna hear the birds wake up And know that this life is mine [VERSE 2] I miss the sound of someone calling From the kitchen down the hall I miss a letter in the mailbox And waiting by the phone to call We'd sit beneath the streetlights Talking until the night went cold And nobody was taking pictures We were just there, growing old [PRE-CHORUS] There was nothing left to scroll through Nothing pulling at our eyes Just the moon above the rooftops And the stars across the sky [CHORUS] Take me back before the noise Before the world was in our hands Before we traded all our time For someone else's plans Take me back to summer nights And radios turned up loud To getting lost and finding home Without a map telling us how I don't wanna know what's happening Everywhere, all of the time I just wanna hear the birds wake up And know that this life is mine [BRIDGE] Maybe we can't go backwards Maybe time won't let us stay But somewhere underneath the signal I know there's still another way Leave the phone beside the window Let the morning come in slow Make some coffee, call somebody Then go walking with nowhere to go And if the whole world keeps on spinning Let it spin without me tonight I don't need to see it all To know that I'm alive [FINAL CHORUS] Take me back before the noise Before we needed to be seen Before the world could reach us Every second in between Take me back to simple things A front door, a friend, a song A little bit of nowhere Where you could disappear so long I don't wanna know what's happening Everywhere, all of the time I just wanna hear the birds wake up And feel this little life of mine [OUTRO] No signal No screen No reason to be anywhere But here Just the morning Just the road Just somebody saying "Come on, lets go"
