Lyrics
(Chorus)
Take Me Back oh Take Me Back
To a quiet Place
Take Me Back oh Take Me Back
To a quiet Place
Where time and space was just a place and everything was cool
I took for granted everything, I was such a fool
(Verses)
I still believe in faded memories
Wanting them back, I?m begging on my knees
Those sunny days before skies turned grey
And my heart was torn in two
I?m sad I?m mad I?m really missing you
Dreaming about everything that was
And holding back tears and letting go because
Everything that I feel inside makes me want to cry
I wish I hope and I always wonder why
(Bridge)
I believe in miracles and extraordinary things
And all I ask is one more chance to see your face again
