lyrics

I see the leaves change in my memory
Visions of mountains swept into the sea
Drinks in the fields, smell of the rain
Birds in the shallows going their separate ways

Lost in the woods that I used to call my own
Brushing the dust from what used to be known
Lost in the woods that I used to call my own

I want to return to a place I've never been
I want to go back
I don't know where and I don't know how
But I want to go back
I want to go back

I have been trying to cope with my mind
I caught myself wishing I could rewind again
Feeling alone, don't want to be seen
After leaving for so long, nothing's what it used to be

I want to return to a place I've never been
I want to go back
I don't know where and I don't know how
But I want to go back
I want to return to a place I've never been
I want to go back
I don't know where and I don't know how
But I want to go back

I want to go back
I want to go back
I want to go back
