I wanna Go Back

I wanna go back, back to the 

Back to the sunshine and golden hay

On my fathers shoulder soaked up in awe 

Waving my hand to that airplane miles above

In all that I have seen  so near or far 

I miss my mothers hands through my hair

It seemed like a good idea, this growing up

But now it seems this trophy is just an empty cup

When my sister kissed my cheek

After I stole chocolates from the fridge

Running off with my brother to the movies

A penny on the street felt like i am goddamn rich

Oh I wanna go back to the good old days 

Sitting with my friends by the lake after school 

Skipping stones over the water for hours on an end

Or dancing without a care when I was surrounded by friends

That childhood was gold, oh wouldnt you say

How time stole it from me with every birthday 

Now I am just an old man who walks alone with a cane  

Sitting by the window, waiting for the angel to take me away
