Dave Patten - Back lyrics

Back Written and produced by Dave Patten 2009 Dave Patten Published by Dave Patten (ASCAP), Clark Collectibles (ASCAP) I want to go back to the old days, back to better times I want to relive the beauty that ran out of my life Back to the old me, back as far as I'd like I wouldn't change it I just want to experience it twice Mmm ohhhh I've got this picture frame bought it at the dollar store It's held my memories longer than I could hold them for And I look at it now, as I looked at it then I close my eyes and relive the moment again I can't help but smile I'm in a perfect place I love seeing you here this way you'll never fade And I can dream big even when I'm asleep I know you're close by always comforting me I've got this painting here, a picture of a bridge It meant nothing before but now I treasure it This bridge was really small, not my centerpiece It just hung on my wall and captured memories Strange and beautiful in everything I see Every color every stroke is like a piece of me I'm so invested now, remember when we started? With all that love, I still don't know the artist I've got this old guitar, it should be in the trash The strings are broken the bridge is gone and the neck is snapped But every time I look it's like I'm fifteen Trying to make my first impression here on the camp scene Hah, you're taking me back, oh I remember it now The bitter taste of defeat every time a girl shut me down It's just a piece of wood, but look how much I learned It seemed dumb at the time, I'm just happy it worked Now I'm facing myself, we're standing eye to eye It's a test to see who can trump the effects of time we have a clear winner, I must be ten years old But I embrace the wisdom, rejuvenate my soul I feel a changed man, even from yesterday And I am proud to say this sinner's learned from his mistakes Cause if you give it up, well then you'll never know And there's only one place you're ever gonna want to go
