"Old Days" lyrics

Can I, can I, can I have it back?
Would you, would you, would you take me back?
Could you, could you, could you take me back?
Back to the old days

Yeah
Here I am, twenty-three, yeah, my life's changin'
I'm so tired of singing how my heart's breakin'
I got therapy tomorrow, and I might flake it
If I need pills, wonder how I might take it
Don't want my girl to worry, about my mental health
I think my strongest moment, was when I asked for help
"Be optimistic, you're not done" is what I tell myself
Looking for that happiness I know I felt

I wanna go back to the old days
Back when I, smiled a bit more
Skipping class in the hallways
Back when I, did all my chores
Take me back for a day, I won't tell a soul
Back to the days when nobody's old
I'll go back to a place where nobody knows
I'll go back to the old days

Can I, can I, can I have it back?
Would you, would you, would you take me back?
Could you, could you, could you take me back?
Back to the old days

I won't tell a soul
I won't tell a soul
I just wanna go back
I just wanna go back

I went to therapy, I got perfectionism
People-pleasing to the point I feel like no one listens
Scared to voice my thoughts, scared to alter your perception
Of who I am, I crave acceptance so I feel protected
Yeah, kill my pride so I feel alive
Hard to find the answers when it's through your eyes
Overthinking causes lies, being humble breaks the ties
I never thought I'd be here back when I was nine

I wanna go back to the old days
Back when I, smiled a bit more
Skipping class in the hallways
Back when I, did all my chores
Take me back for a day, I won't tell a soul (Won't tell a soul)
Back to the days when nobody's old (Won't tell a soul)
I'll go back to a place where nobody knows
I'll go back to the old days

Back to the old days
I won't tell a soul
I won't tell a soul
I just wanna go back
I won't tell a soul
I won't tell a soul
I just wanna go back
I just wanna go back
