"Back When" lyrics
Woke up to the sun, but it don't feel right
Shoes by the door, but they don't feel right
The mirror's cracked, but it's still me inside
I used to run
I used to climb
Now, every step feels like a climb
The weight of the world's hitching a ride
Where did the laughter go?
Where did the rhythm flow?
Back when it was no maps app, but we never was lost
Paying attention didn't come at a cost
Used to jump those cracks on the roads that we cross
Mama home cooking dinner
I can still smell the sauce
Ain't it crazy what your memory does?
Your heart and your mind's where your memory was
Not your phone, not a card, not in the cloud
If I pinky-promised, you would think that I vowed
Jukebox played, and we danced all night
Every wrong turn still felt so right
Now, the map's worn, and I've lost my guide
Used to be stars in the darkest skies
Now, I just see the city lights
Where did the magic learn to hide?
Where did the laughter go?
Where did the rhythm flow?
Back when it was
Did we lose the magic? JK
I remember weekends felt like a vacay
Not feeling checked-out until payday
Listening to my gut. Not what they say
Can we take it back to simpler times?
Complex algorithms make simpler minds
I'm the scratch in the surface
I'm itching to find
The tradition that been missing with a vision of a past like mine
Wanna slow down. I don't wanna go faster
I don't wanna know about every disaster
Less LOLs
Way more laughter
Don't need no feed to tell me what I'm after
I have to keep the curiosity
Faith in love is what it's got to be
It feels like it's been replaced by animosity
And, honestly, well, it's got to me
Back when it was easy
Easy like a breeze
Life felt like a melody playing on repeat
Oh. Back when it was easy
Honey, can't you see?
I'm missing the way it used to be
Where did the laughter go?
Where did the rhythm flow?
Back when it was easy
Easy like a breeze
Life felt like a melody playing on repeat
Oh. Back when it was easy
Honey, can't you see?
I'm missing the way it used to be
Back when it was
Take it back
Take it back
Take it back
Take it back
Take it back
Take it back
Shoes by the door, but they don't feel right
The mirror's cracked, but it's still me inside
I used to run
I used to climb
Now, every step feels like a climb
The weight of the world's hitching a ride
Where did the laughter go?
Where did the rhythm flow?
Back when it was no maps app, but we never was lost
Paying attention didn't come at a cost
Used to jump those cracks on the roads that we cross
Mama home cooking dinner
I can still smell the sauce
Ain't it crazy what your memory does?
Your heart and your mind's where your memory was
Not your phone, not a card, not in the cloud
If I pinky-promised, you would think that I vowed
Jukebox played, and we danced all night
Every wrong turn still felt so right
Now, the map's worn, and I've lost my guide
Used to be stars in the darkest skies
Now, I just see the city lights
Where did the magic learn to hide?
Where did the laughter go?
Where did the rhythm flow?
Back when it was
Did we lose the magic? JK
I remember weekends felt like a vacay
Not feeling checked-out until payday
Listening to my gut. Not what they say
Can we take it back to simpler times?
Complex algorithms make simpler minds

Where did the rhythm flow?
Back when it was easy
Easy like a breeze
Life felt like a melody playing on repeat
Oh. Back when it was easy
Honey, can't you see?
I'm missing the way it used to be
Back when it was
Take it back
Take it back
Take it back
Take it back
Take it back
Take it back
