bring me back

i remember when

time was always spent

dreaming of tomorrow

the way that it would be

but we all had our hopes

we all made our plans

somewhere along the way we lost our clarity

and nobody meant to change

we never thought we'd end up this far away

bring me back to the innocence of you

and bring me back to the first love i ever knew

back to the way when i was young

i'm tired of the mess that i've become

i want to see the world the way you do

so bring me back to you

back to you

and as the days go by

i wish i could stop time

because my little boy and girl

their eyes are on the world

and what they've yet to learn

and what they've yet to see

are the very things that jaded me

and left me empty

i never meant to change

no

i never meant to stray so far away

so bring me back to the innocence of you

and bring me back to the first love i ever knew

back to the way when i was young

i'm tired of the mess that i've become

i want to see the world the way you do

open my eyes

lord

and help me to see

the plans that you have for me

and open my heart

fill it up

fill it up

and hold me

lord

hold me

bring me back to the innocence of you

and bring me back to the first love i ever knew

back to the way when i was young

i'm tired of the mess that i've become

i want to see the world the way you do

so bring me back to you

back to you

i remember when

our time was always spent

dreaming of tomorrow
