Back When We Were Young

For all those who wish they could have their childhood back .... even if only for a day I still remember those summer lights running through the streets like time would never find us... Back when the nights felt endless and the mornings came too slow No bills, no pressure on our shoulders just music on the radio We were kings without a kingdom laughing loud under city skies Every scar was still unwritten no fear hidden in our eyes Sneaking out till early sunrise dancing like the world was ours Every dream felt close enough we could almost touch the stars Now the silence hits different every year moves way too fast Trying hard to hold the feeling of a life that couldn’t last I wish I was a child again No worries in my head No weight upon my chest at night No ghosts beneath my bed Just freedom in my bloodstream and nowhere else to be Running wild with all my friends like life belonged to me I miss the air, the innocence before the world got cold Before the fear of growing up started living in my soul Now conversations turn to futures broken bodies, tired eyes People chasing different versions of the kids we left behind Some nights I stare into the mirror trying hard to recognize the boy who thought the world was simple before the storms arrived And every bad experience left another mark inside Now my head is full of echoes I can never fully hide If I could stop time for a moment I’d go back to those empty streets Where heartbreak had no meaning and sleep came easily No anxiety tomorrow No fear of losing touch Just friends, loud music, midnight skies and loving life too much Maybe growing older means learning how to carry pain But sometimes I still close my eyes and hear our songs again The laughter through the window the bottles on the floor The feeling we were infinite and needed nothing more Now we move a little slower hearts heavier than before Still searching for that freedom we were living for I wish I was a child again before the world turned loud Before responsibilities made us all bow down Just one more night with no regrets no future left to fear Just me and all my closest friends like we were still right here And even if time changed us I know one thing stays true A part of me still lives back there in every memory of you Back when we were young... Back when our hearts were weightless... Back when life felt free...
