[Verse 1]
The desert air was sharp as a knife
The late autumn sky delivered the night
As far as I could see the road looked dark
The only life I knew was about to fall apart

[Hook]
Time's ticking and I can't escape
The pin pulled on a hand grenade
White flags start to raise

[Pre-Chorus]
I wonder how it got this way
I swear it felt just like yesterday
We were fearless and unafraid

[Chorus]
Take me back to younger dreams
When times were easy and we believed
Take me back to revive my memory
I'm digging deep but I am scared that I have lost
My younger dreams

[Verse 2]
Sick and tired of just trying to survive
I've forgotten how it feels to be alive
I can only hope I'm remembered by
The fearless heart that I once had inside
[Hook]
Time's ticking and I can't escape
The pin pulled on a hand grenade
White flags start to raise

[Chorus]
Take me back to younger dreams
When times were easy and we believed
Take me back to revive my memory
I'm digging deep but I am scared that I have lost
My younger dreams
(Scared that I have lost my younger dreams)

[Pre-Chorus]
I wonder how it got this way
I swear it felt just like yesterday
We were fearless and unafraid

[Chorus]
Take me back to younger dreams
When times were easy and we believed
Take me back to revive my memory
I'm digging deep but I am scared that I have lost
My younger dreams
(Scared that I have lost my younger dreams)
[Outro]
I'm never turning back until I've found
My younger dreams
