Let me sit by the brick fireplace,
Let me wade the river in my clothes,
Can I play in the swimming pool?

Let me bake cookies,
Let me sleep in your t-shirt,
Can I smell your midnight cigarettes?

Let me tan in the sun,
Let me stay awake all night,
Can I just go back?
Let me see childhood again,
With you.

Things aren’t the same.
Let me be young again,
Let me rewind time,
Can we just go back?
