[Verse 1: Keisha & Mutya] Let's take a Kodak moment Like the ones I saved way back then Many tears on tissues Now I laugh, cause that was then Now we're here Back in the days we took numbers by the dozen When we showed up They had left us in the rain Oh, the shame [Pre-Chorus 1: Siobhan] As time bleeds away Never waits for me, oh [Chorus] Memories overlook what we tried to forget I'm lost in the outer edge Rivers deep, now shallow As it flows, we let go And where we've been nobody knows [Post-Chorus] Back in the day when I was young Back in the day Back in the day when I was young Back in the day Back in the day when I was young I'm not a kid anymore But some days I sit and wish I was a kid again [Verse 2: Keisha & Mutya] Another seven AM finish in the studio Then back to school No time to chill That was normal Getting changed in the back seat Falling asleep, forgot our books And that was real, nothing for free But I don't think that I've ever missed out On all the things that I thought were happening Around me [Pre-Chorus 2: Siobhan] A stone's throw away Yesterday, for me, oh [Chorus] Memories overlook what we tried to forget I'm lost in the outer edge Rivers deep, now shallow As it flows, we let go And where we've been nobody knows [Post-Chorus] Back in the day when I was young Back in the day Back in the day when I was young Back in the day Back in the day when I was young I'm not a kid anymore But some days I sit and wish I was a kid again [Bridge] Just being honest No broken promise Cause you get back what you give Keep on learning 360 turning Watch it fall in place with ease [Pre-Chorus 1: Siobhan] As time bleeds away Never waits for me, oh [Chorus] Memories overlook what we tried to forget I'm lost in the outer edge Rivers deep, now shallow As it flows, we let go And where we've been nobody knows [Chorus] Memories overlook what we tried to forget I'm lost in the outer edge Rivers deep, now shallow As it flows, we let go And where we've been nobody knows [Post-Chorus] Back in the day when I was young Back in the day Back in the day when I was young Back in the day Back in the day when I was young I'm not a kid anymore But some days I sit and wish I was a kid again
