Please take me back when I was a youngin' Those days where did they go Looking back all I see is the sunshine Nowadays it just feels like snow Please take me back when I was a stranger To anxiety, depression, anger Easy for me to let things go Nowadays I'm just chasing goals I was 18 and a beat up car yeah Just got my driver's license Out late sneaking into bars yeah All night yeah we were vibing With a group of Outcasts that I called friends Listening to Paramore misery business Back then never questioned my life decisions Now stress is all I know If I was younger If I could change the hands of time To a place where my life felt like it was mine Please take me back when I was a youngin' Before the songs and fame Nowadays they just want something from me When they don't know my first name Please take me back then Back to the back when Sidewalks were all we knew And we rode 'til the streetlights came on Then raced back before curfew I was 13 in my best friend's basement Hook up that new 360 Only thing that killed the vibe was Red Rings and frozen load screens So much Mountain Dew Don't think I'll ever go to sleep Watching 8-mile Looking up to another Trailer trash kid But still loving my mother Hoping I'll be the next in line To leave this town If I was younger If I could change the hands of time To a place where my life felt like it was mine
