Take me back in time
When we were young and we believed
Be the rhythm to a rhyme
I wound through the air for you to see
There was a day was there not
When we loved and never fought
Our hearts for control
Never tried to stop the flow
When did we let it go?
When did we stop trying to grow?

Remember a time, it's all I ask
Just please take it all back
Meet me where the world was easy
I'll be there waiting just believe me
I'll show you fireflies in the woods
We'll dance in the snow and never feel the cold
We'll walk the rain without our hoods
We'll love with hearts that will never grow old
You can tread the lonely stars with no fearΒ 
No such thing as a fall if I catch you my dear

Live with a back unburdened by this world
Laugh with the laugh of that little girl
That I know still breathes
Still warms my heart when you are near
Eyes full of light beneath
The sadness and the fear
Dry that beautiful face and look for more
Inside this chest beats a key to the door
Unclench your fists and reach through the silence
Show the world the meaning of defiance
Don't leave me here without you
This place was meant for two
I understand so much, I do
But paradise is nothing without you
