lyrics

Open arms to the sky,
Don’t need permission to fly,
Taste the salt in the air,
Close my eyes and we’re there.

Oh how old was I then?
Couldn’t have been more than ten.
On the grass spinning round,
Wait till the others fell down.

Easy smiles and laughs,
Kids running down the path,
See the fairy lights glow,
There’s magic in the hollow.

How it all went so fast,
Sweet innocence don’t last.
I wanna bring it back,
Please help me bring it back...

To the time that I was there with you and
There was nothing that we couldn’t do,
To the days where we would laugh and play
Tag your it, turn, and run away.

But days came that we cried,
I heard the magic had died.
Oh then everything changed,
And life became strange.

Oh how old were we then?
I wonder now and again if
We could take it back,
Oh could we take it back...

To the time that I was there for you and
There was nothing that I wouldn’t do,
To the days where I was unafraid to
Break the rules and misbehave,
To the times of manhunt in the dark, to
Ready or not and on your mark,
Before the chards of broken hearts
Rained down upon that dream theme park.

Now you’ve got kids of your own,
Blink your eyes and they’re grown,
Hear them laugh while they play,
I see them brighten your day.

Oh how it all goes so fast,
Sweet innocence don’t last,
I wanna bring it back,
Please help me bring it back,
I wanna bring it back...
