[Verse 1]
~#**************#~
I miss the days when I had a smile on my face and
~#**************#~
Wasnt so caught up in all of the small things
~#**************#~
Wasnt so adamant that I could handle everything alone
~#**************#~
And wasnt so cautious and always exhausted
~#**************#~
And actually listened to things that my heart said, heart said
~#**************#~
Ridin my bike, just ridin my bike
~#**************#~
Not overthinkin my life
~#**************#~
Not always wonderin if Im a likable person
~#**************#~
Or someone that nobody likes
~#**************#~
Not always stressed about money or losin my job
~#**************#~
Or scared I aint makin a flight
~#**************#~
Not always goin to bed every night
~#**************#~
With this knot in my stomach that never unwinds
~#**************#~
What happened to me? Yeah, what happened to me?
~#**************#~
When did I start to believe I wasnt worth it
~#**************#~
Then question my purpose to breathe?
~#**************#~
Wonderin who I should be
~#**************#~
Happiness out of my reach
~#**************#~
Scared to get back on my feet
~#**************#~
Need to get rid of whats detrimental, but its hard to let go
~#**************#~
When the thing that hurts you help you get to your dreams
~#**************#~
See, I miss the days when I wasnt so faded
~#**************#~
Love wasnt always invasive, I could embrace it
~#**************#~
Just innocent, waitin, not always livin in anguish
~#**************#~
When did I break and become overtaken?
~#**************#~
What was the moment I caved and
~#**************#~
Gave away all of my faith and made a replacement?
~#**************#~
I miss the days when, I miss the days when—
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
I miss the smiles we had when we were young (Oh)
~#**************#~
I miss the memories of feeling love (Oh)
~#**************#~
I miss us runnin underneath the sun (Oh)
~#**************#~
Staring out the window when the rain would come (Oh)
~#**************#~
I miss the smiles we had when we were kids, yeah (Oh)
~#**************#~
I feel like life was so much simpler then, yeah (Oh)
~#**************#~
When we had joy and we were innocent (Oh)
~#**************#~
Id give it all to feel that way again, way again
~#**************#~
[Verse 2]
~#**************#~
Give me my mind back, yeah
~#**************#~
Give me my mind back
~#**************#~
The one that told me I was worth somethin when I fall flat
~#**************#~
Yeah, fall flat
~#**************#~
The one that told me I was worth somethin when Im off track
~#**************#~
Back when my imagination wasnt in a cage and it was free to run fast
~#**************#~
Yeah, give me my mind back
~#**************#~
Yeah, give me my, give me my mind back
~#**************#~
Before it was hijacked and wasnt described as
~#**************#~
A place of limitation, always indicating I cant
~#**************#~
Handle everything from my past
~#**************#~
Handed anything it dissects til Im depressed
~#**************#~
I know Im blessed, but Im cursed too
~#**************#~
Take me back when I was happy, but I wasnt actin
~#**************#~
Vulnerable but didnt see it like some kind of weakness
~#**************#~
Or a thing thats unattractive
~#**************#~
Had emotion, but I learned to mask it
~#**************#~
Didnt know what I was runnin after
~#**************#~
Didnt know the older I would grow
~#**************#~
The more Id lose control and take in all the baggage
~#**************#~
Its really sad when everything you thought was stable crashes
~#**************#~
Everything you thought would take the sadness
~#**************#~
Really only made it deeper, got me off the deep end askin
~#**************#~
Will we ever feel like we imagine?
~#**************#~
Will we ever feel like we adapted?
~#**************#~
Will we ever feel like we did back then?
~#**************#~
Just take me back when, just take me back when
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
I miss the smiles we had when we were young (Oh)
~#**************#~
I miss the memories of feeling love (Oh)
~#**************#~
I miss us runnin underneath the sun (Oh)
~#**************#~
Staring out the window when the rain would come (Oh)
~#**************#~
I miss the smiles we had when we were kids, yeah (Oh)
~#**************#~
I feel like life was so much simpler then, yeah (Oh)
~#**************#~
When we had joy and we were innocent (Oh)
~#**************#~
Id give it all to feel that way again, way again
~#**************#~
[Bridge]
~#**************#~
Oh-oh-oh (Oh)
~#**************#~
Oh-oh-oh (Way again)
~#**************#~

~#**************#~
Oh-oh-oh (Oh)
~#**************#~
(So much simpler then)
~#**************#~
Oh-oh-oh (Oh)
~#**************#~
(And we were innocent)
~#**************#~
Oh-oh-oh (Oh)
~#**************#~
Yeah
~#**************#~
[Chorus]

~#**************#~
Staring out the window when the rain would come (Oh)

I feel like life was so much simpler then, yeah (Oh)
~#**************#~
When we had joy and we were innocent (Oh)
~#**************#~
Id give it all to feel that way again, way again (Oh)
~#**************#~
