Back when the world felt small And dreams fit in our hands We ran through summer nights Like kids with no demands Flip phones, mixtapes, midnight calls Hearts wide open, we had it all You said forever in the glow of streetlights I believed you every time Take me back to 2009 Before we lost the stars in our eyes When love was loud and full of light And we thought we'd never say goodbye Frozen in time, that sacred line You were yours, and I was mine I still replay it all in my mind Take me back to 2009 We carved our names in the oak tree Wrote our truths in black and blue Now all that’s left are ghosted screens And songs that sound like you Every sunset feels the same Like it’s whisperin’ your name You kissed me once on your front porch step And I swore I’d never forget Take me back to 2009 Before we lost the stars in our eyes When love was loud and full of light And we thought we'd never say goodbye Frozen in time, that sacred line You were yours, and I was mine I still replay it all in my mind Take me back to 2009 Maybe we were just too young But that doesn’t mean it wasn’t love If I could turn back the hands of time I'd meet you there, one last time Take me back to 2009 Before we lost the stars in our eyes When love was loud and full of light And we thought we'd never say goodbye Frozen in time, that sacred line You were yours, and I was mine I still replay it all in my mind Take me back to 2009 Take me back to 2009 Where your heart still beat with mine No pain, no lies, no space, no time Just your hand holding tight to mine If only we could press rewind Take me back to 2009
