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 go 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
