Take Me Back

Take me back to a time when the world was magical

Take me back to a time of inspiration, love and laughter

Take me back to adventure

Take me back to myself

There is a version of me that lingers, lost in hazy memories

Beautiful, hopeful and bold

She believed anything was possible,

As she danced through the world

The places she wrote on cardboard

The words she held on her tongue

She savoured them like candies

And looked boldly into the sun

She was a character more than a person

Writing her story step by step

Chasing her own adventure

Never knowing what to expect

What was crazy became normal

Strange somehow felt right

I don’t know where that girl is

She disappeared into the night

Without her there is endless winter

Because the me that she left behind

Is the worst one in the world--

She is trapped inside her mind

So take me back.
