Take Me Back

(album: A Hard Up Life - 2021)

Take me back to the days
Of the river every evening
Still the stage of meeting
Still in flight

Take me back to the nights
We had nothing yet to lose
We had it all to prove
Wrong or right

We were all just living
Not too concerned
Maybe nothing more was learned
But we were free

After all that giving
Or at least we thought
Never mattered if we'd fall
Or so it seemed

Take me back to the times
The world's weight was not our burden
It's okay to be uncertain
About things

Take me back to the life
That we had before we looked up
Saw the world to be so fucked up
And in flames

We were all just living
Not too concerned
Maybe nothing more was learned
But we were free

After all that giving
Or at least we thought
Never mattered if we'd fall
Or so it seemed

It always seemed
