Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I think I'm going back
To the thing I learned so well in my youth
I think I'm returning to
All those days when I was young enough to know the truth
[Verse 2]
Now there are no games to only pass the time
No more electric trains, no more trees to climb
Thinking young and growing older is no sin
And I can play the game of life to win
[Verse 3]
Oh, I can recall the time
When I wasn't ashamed to reach out to a friend
And now I think I've got
A lot more than just my toys to lend
[Verse 4]
Now there's more to do than watch myself or cry
And every day can be my magic paradise
And I can play hide and seek with my fears
And live my days instead of counting my years
[Verse 5]
Let everyone debate the true reality
I'd rather see my world the way it used to be
A little bit of courage is all we lack
So catch me if you can 'cause I'm going back
[Verse 6]
I'm going back
Not just sitting, walking away
Yes, I'm going back
Going back to my youth, oh, yeah
[Verse 7]
I'm going back
I'm going back
Going back to my youth
Come on, catch me 'cause I'm going back
I'm going back
