Life at 10 (Take Me Back)

I take the long way back
To pass a place I used to know
And where my thoughts still often go

Just as in my dreams
Memories line the roads
To the house I once called home

Can't help but grin remembering
That pleasant place in time
Here I am feeling half my age
Falling fast into yesterday

Take me back to life at 10
To mickey mouse and Spiderman
I want to make believe again
Each day free don't got no plans
I guess you could say
Those were the days

I try my best to keep with me
These pictures of the past
But life keeps on so fast

Whatever happened to
Endless dreaming, no doubting, just occasional pouting for gain
The only hurt was growing pains

It sure has been awhile since
That pleasant place in time
Here I am hoping here to find
Who I am inside

Take me back to life at 10
To swings and castles made of sand
I want to make believe again
Each day free don't got no plans
I guess you could say
Those were the days
Those were the days

Take me back to life at 10
When love was free and life was grand
Teach me please who I was then
I want to feel complete again
And if only I could find in me
That same old free simplicity
If only time would bend its knees
And take me back
Take me back
Take me back
Take me back
