Take Me Back in the Day Lyrics by MJHanks

All by Myself

2020

[Verse 1]
Oh no, here we go again
Life is a-changing
Been through a lot, but still blessed that I'm breathing
Excited for the future, but I'm missin' the past
As I reminisce about the times that went by too fast
And yes, I am grown up, but why should I grow up?
Why can't I sit back and just have a moment?
Bring back the freedom, and bring back the friendships
Bring back the good times when we were so hopeless
But life keeps on going
We keep on going
I keep on going
(Ayo, ayo, ayo, ayo, ayo, ayo)
Take me back to a simpler time, a simpler place, a simpler mind
I thought bigger of myself, or thought I was taller
Thought different things, I thought I was smarter
And I might've been crazy or even too loud
And I might've been angry and sometimes even too proud
But I'll never forget the feeling being around a small little table full of hungry mouths
And sometimes, I wish I could go back selling chocolate for school
I wish, I could go back when I thought I was cool in my fresh new shoes that never matched anything
But it's all good, those were the days
[Chorus]
Hear the trees and the beautiful breeze
As I bike through the park, take me back, take me back in the day
Summer days on the trampoline, looking up at the sky, take me back, take me back in the day
Knock doors till my friends come out
"I got a new [?] that you gotta check out"
My friend and my best friend, my bestest of best friends
So please take me back, take me back, take me back in the day
[Verse 2]
Why do I feel like I'm holding this burden?
Why do I feel like a different person?
Why can't I enjoy the moments I'm given?
Caught in a dream, overcome with emotion
Back in the ways from back in the days
Thinking that I'm never gonna stop my ways
Give me prays, give me prays
Look at me and be amazed
But nobody's looking, nobody's there
I'm lost in a vision that nobody cares
If life was a concert, I'd buy all the tickets
If life was a buffet, I'd go back for seconds
If life was a track, I would probably press play back
I wish I could go back, I wish I could go back
But life keeps on going
We keep on going
I keep on going
[Chorus]
Hear the trees and the beautiful breeze
As I bike through the park, take me back, take me back in the day
Summer days on the trampoline, looking up at the sky, take me back, take me back in the day
Knock doors till my friends come out
"I got a new [?] that you gotta check out"
My friend and my best friend, my bestest of best friends
So please take me back, take me back, take me back in the day
(Take me back in the day)
(Take me back in the day)
(Take me back in the day)
(Take me back in the day)
