Back Down To Earth
Rekindling Youth: A Melodic Journey Through Time
Lyrics
I fell asleep on the job of breaking hearts
I neglected my responsibility of protecting people's emotions.
Many years ago now
This happened many years ago.
Just two punk rock kids making out
We were rebellious youths, sharing intimate moments.
On the bench near the skatepark
At a location near the skatepark.
You looked at me and said
You expressed a commitment to enduring love as we age.
We may grow old but that should never change us
A simple, unspoken promise.
Simple silent pledge
Reflecting on the significance of our past commitment.
How would we know how much it meant to us back then?
Questioning our understanding of its importance then.
If I ever got the chance to call you baby
If I had the opportunity to affectionately address you.
When somehow you were found along the broken roads taken
When you were discovered amidst difficult life paths.
Just maybe
Possibly
We’d get this back to when you
Reverting to a time when you were my savior.
Used to be the one that saved me
Recalling the period when you rescued me from dark days.
From all the darkest days I ever seemed to face
The toughest moments I ever confronted.
Feels like just lately
Recently it seems
You got me right back down to earth
You grounded me in reality.
You brought me right back to where we were
Returning to the initial stages of our relationship.
Two kids on the dock throwing rocks
We were young, engaged in playful activities.
Feel them skip with my heart
Symbolizing the resonance of emotions with heartbeats.
We got so lost in the dark
We became disoriented in challenging times.
On the way back to your car
Returning to the car after navigating difficulties.
Did you ever think we’d grow up
Contemplating the inevitability of growing up.
We’d get lost in the moments
Losing ourselves in precious moments.
Did you ever really think we’d get to thirty something now and just miss it
Doubting if we envisioned reaching our thirties and missing the past.
To the glory days, the summer night, first true love
Nostalgia for the glorious days, summer nights, and first love.
The time of our life
A period considered the best of our lives.
If I ever got the chance to call you baby
If I had the chance to lovingly address you.
When somehow you were found along the broken roads taken
When you were discovered amidst challenging paths.
Just maybe
Possibly
We’d get this back to when you
Reverting to a time when you were my savior.
Used to be the one that saved me
Recalling the period when you rescued me from dark days.
From all the darkest days I ever seemed to face
The toughest moments I ever confronted.
Feels like just lately
Recently it seems
You got me right back down to earth
You grounded me in reality.
You brought me right back to where we were
Returning to the initial stages of our relationship.
