Oh, how I tried
To get to out her of my head
And I lie, broken words I said
Never thought I'd walk on this street again
Standing where it all began
Tried to forget
When I left this town
But it takes me right back
When I come back around
Retrace
The steps we took on lost summer night
I'm back there by your side
Retrace
The steps we took when we met worlds away
Coming backwards while the stars are falling
Oh now I find,
Ever settled thing screams your name
And reminds me of places in times we share.
Couldn't live locked in these memories.
Now I'm chained to my thoughts again.
And I tried to forget
When I left this town
But I take you right back
If you come back around
Retrace
The steps we took on lost summer night
Im back there by your side
Retrace
The steps we took when we met words away
Coming backwards while the stars are falling
I need some shelter right
Need some safety
Photographs they
Hold me lately
Chasing shadows
As they hit me, takes me
I'm still searching but the picture is fading
Retrace
The steps we took on the lost summer night
Im back there by your side
Retrace
The steps we took when we met worlds away
Coming backwards still coming backwards
In nowhere else has ever felt
Like home
And I can't fall sleep
When I'm lying here alone
I'll replay your voice
It's like you're here
You move the air
But now the sky is falling
Retrace
The steps we took on the lost summer night
In my mind I'll back by your side
Retrace
The steps we took when we met words away
Coming backwards while the stars are falling
