Verse 1
I remember sunlight falling on that old main street
Coffee on the counter, nothing tasted as sweet
You'd wave from the window, I’d race through the door
All I wanted was time, but we always wanted more
Pre-Chorus
You held me close, the world was still outside
Every promise we made, no reason to hide
Chorus
Can we go back in time when love lived
When people cared, when we could forgive
When your heart meant more than silver and gold
Back to simpler times, the stories once told
Post-Chorus
Oh, back again
Oh, back my friend
Verse 2
There was a porch light shining, supper time called
Neighbors knew your name, we'd answer the call
When taxes were low and the promise ran high
Faith was a handshake and no reason to lie
Pre-Chorus
Dreams felt closer, hope wasn't hard to find
What I'd give for another day in that frame of mind
Chorus
Can we go back in time when love lived
When people cared, and the world forgave
When your voice meant more than what you own
Back to simpler times, to the roots we're grown
Post-Chorus
Yeah, back again
Oh, back my friend
Bridge
Tell me, do you remember the sound of rain
On tin rooftops and laughter out in the lane
Nothing to prove, just a glance and a smile
Walking together, mile after mile
Chorus
Can we go back in time when love lived
When kindness lingered, and wrongs were forgiv’n
When we shared more than money could hold
Back to simpler times, with stories retold
Post-Chorus
Oh, back again
Oh, back my friend
Outro
So take my hand, let's try to find
A piece of that past, in this present time
If home is a feeling, let's build it again
Back to simpler times, where love never
