The years fly, they go by
Flashing like neon lights
Burning out a little faster
The long nights, the deadlines
The need to make the headlines
Every day's an uphill battle
Wonder if it even matters
All this time just piles up
And I don't know why but
I get lost in, how it was back then
Back before I learned to worry
Long before somebody hurt me
Didn't have to numb my mind
'Cause I wasn't on borrowed time
Before I knew this rollercoaster
Wouldn't stop when I got older
Waiting for this broken ride to start
Was the hardest part
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
♪
What happened to that kid
Who still believed in magic?
Planes of paper in the sky but
Now she's in a downward spiral
All this time just piles up
And I don't know why but
I get lost in, how it was back then
Back before I learned to worry
Long before somebody hurt me
Didn't have to numb my mind
'Cause I wasn't on borrowed time
Before I knew this rollercoaster
Wouldn't stop when I got older
And waiting for this broken ride to start
Was the hardest part
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
I just wanna go back
I can never go back, but I look back sometimes
I just wanna go back
I can't live like that, that's why they call it a past life
(I wanna go back) I just wanna go back
(But I know that) I can never go back, but I look back sometimes
(I can't go back to a past life) I just wanna go back, I can't live like that
That's why they call it a past life
(Wanna go back) I just wanna go back
(But I know that I can't go back) I can never go back, but I look back sometimes
I just wanna go back, I just wanna go back
Back before I learned to worry
Long before somebody hurt me
Didn't have to numb my mind
'Cause I wasn't on borrowed time
Before I knew this rollercoaster
Wouldn't stop when I got older
And waiting for this broken ride to start
Before I built these walls around my heart
And waiting for this broken ride to start
Was the hardest part
