Lyrics
To be younger me
As a girl, carefree
Birthday candle wishes believed
She likes to ride in the car
Go to the store
Run through the park
She is not afraid of losing
Memories are speaking (Memories are speaking)
And leading me down (And leading)
Hallways of longing (Hallways of longing)
A daydream of childhood naïve (A daydream)
To live like that (To live like that)
In the simple ease of the past
Feeling so much joy and happiness
I can remember the phone
Calling my friends if they were home
I was so connected then
I would go back again
Memories are speaking (Memories are speaking)
And leading me down (And leading)
Hallways of longing (Hallways of longing)
A daydream of childhood naïve (A daydream)
Be careful not to leave the present permanently
I don't forget to rewind
I travel back and visit the good times
If only in my mind
Memories are speaking
And leading me down, me down
Hallways of longing
A daydream of childhood naïve
