Back when we were broke and golden
Split one drink
Called it a feast
Laughing at the landlord’s warning
“Pay me someday
” “maybe next week”
Your shoes had holes
My car smoked prayers
We still drove it out of town
Windows stuck
Your hair in tangles
You said
“This is rich enough for now”
Take me back when
We had nothing but a worn-out sweater
Back when
Every little plan felt like forever
Back when
We could turn a Tuesday into legend
Yeah
I’d trade all this to feel
How it was back when
Back when all my shirts were wrinkled
We dressed up in our imaginations
You drew futures on receipts
Circled cities
Circled faces
We missed trains and called it magic
Got lost just to feel found
Kept our fears inside old journals
Said we’d read them when it calmed down
Take me back when
We had nothing but a worn-out sweater
Back when
Every little plan felt like forever
Back when
We could turn a Tuesday into legend
Yeah
I’d trade all this to feel
How it was back when
Funny how the numbers grow
But the colors fade
I got keys to bigger doors
Still think of that tiny place
Where the walls heard every secret
Where the floor knew every step
Tell me
Do you ever miss it
Or is it only in my head?
Take me back when
We had nothing but a worn-out sweater
Back when
Every little plan felt like forever
Back when
We could turn a Tuesday into legend
Yeah
I’d drop all this and run
Just to live back when again
