I gotta get back to my roots
To the only thing that I was ever good at
When I was 17
And I know it won't be the same
That nothin' gold can stay
And all the other cliches
But I'd do anything
For one more day
Back when I'd sing
How it's about time
I start doing something right
Start doin' what I'm told
Stop bein' scared
Start waking up
Not wait 'til I get old
To get out of this town
Tear all the stop signs down
Feel the wind in my hair
Just one more day without a care
Day without a care
Can we go back to the summer of 09
The best one of our lives
The last one of our youth
And I know its easy to romanticize
The good old days in hindsight
But I know its the truth
And I'd do anything
For one more day back when I'd sing
How it's about time
I start doing something right
Start doin' what I'm told
Stop bein' scared
Start waking up
Not wait 'til I get old
To get out of this town
Tear all the stop signs down
Feel the wind in my hair
Just one more day without a care
Day without a care
Now it's about time
That I get back to my roots
Like the summer of 09,
Back when everybody knew
How to spend every night
Like the best one of our lives
I'd give anything for one more summer
When we would sing
"Tortured Souls"
And "Sure Things"
And "The X-Files Theme"
Yeah I'd do anything
I've gotta get back to my roots
Like the last summer of my youth
Yeah it's about time
Yeah it's about time
