AMHERST Lyrics by Kevin Hackett

YOUTH

2019

[Chorus: Aaron Marcus]
When the days fell shorter and we lost what we thought wouldn't end
I'm taking off running and I can't look back
I'm taking off running and I can't look back
To when the world stopped turning and we all found something again
Better start running 'cause we can't look back
Better start running 'cause we can't go back

[Verse 1: Kevin Hackett]
I guess I just get homesick, on my own
I know these summers just hold grip on my soul
These autumn nights get hard to take
Paradise so far away
(x4)

[Chorus: Aaron Marcus]
When the days fell shorter and we lost what we thought wouldn't end
I'm taking off running and I can't look back
I'm taking off running and I can't look back
To when the world stopped turning and we all found something again
Better start running 'cause we can't look back
Better start running 'cause we can't go back

[Bridge: Kevin Hackett & Levi Hinson]
I don't know how
I don't know how
I don't know how far we are
I loved, I lost
Oh I loved and I lost it
I loved, I lost
Exhausted, all to clear my conscience
I loved, I lost
Oh I loved and I lost it
I loved, I lost
Exhausted, all to clear my conscience

[Outro: Aaron Marcus]
When the days fell shorter and we lost what we thought wouldn't end
I'm taking off running and I can't look back
I'm taking off running and I can't look back
To when the world stopped turning and we all found something again
You better start running 'cause we can't look back
Hit the ground running in the culdes-
