Dave Patten - Back lyrics

<b>Back</b> by <i>Dave Patten</i><br />

I want to go back to the old days, back to better times

I want to relive the beauty that ran out of my life

Back to the old me, back as far as I'd like

I wouldn't change it I just want to experience it twice

Mmm ohhhh

I've got this picture frame bought it at the dollar store

It's held my memories longer than I could hold them for

And I look at it now, as I looked at it then

I close my eyes and relive the moment again

I can't help but smile I'm in a perfect place

I love seeing you here this way you'll never fade

And I can dream big even when I'm asleep

I know you're close by always comforting me

I've got this painting here, a picture of a bridge

It meant nothing before but now I treasure it

This bridge was really small, not my centerpiece

It just hung on my wall and captured memories

Strange and beautiful in everything I see

Every color every stroke is like a piece of me

I'm so invested now, remember when we started?

With all that love, I still don't know the artist

I've got this old guitar, it should be in the trash

The strings are broken the bridge is gone and the neck is snapped

But every time I look it's like I'm fifteen

Trying to make my first impression here on the camp scene

Hah, you're taking me back, oh I remember it now

The bitter taste of defeat every time a girl shut me down

It's just a piece of wood, but look how much I learned

It seemed dumb at the time, I'm just happy it worked

Now I'm facing myself, we're standing eye to eye

It's a test to see who can trump the effects of time

we have a clear winner, I must be ten years old

But I embrace the wisdom, rejuvenate my soul

I feel a changed man, even from yesterday

And I am proud to say this sinner's learned from his mistakes

Cause if you give it up, well then you'll never know

And there's only one place you're ever gonna want to go
