lyrics

When I think back to my young years everything feels so detached, so many stories and so many memories that I am finding hard to bring on back.

So I need some help remembering with photo books and old magazines. Pop me back like a tape cassette, and let me relive my dreams.

So I can get back to the simpler time when life was something I could still understand, and the future was mine, back before things got out of hand.

Faces of friends are all fading fast, like photos from the analog age. They yellow and tear and I lose a few, every time I turn a new page.

Time doesn't stop, no it doesn't slow, you can't push rewind. So I keep what I can and I carry on, and I leave the rest behind.

How can I get back to the simpler time when life was something I could still understand, and the future was mine, back before things got out of hand?
