I Want It All Back

I remember skipping stones
And how that was our retreat
Or when we needed to travel
We were proud of the dust on our feet
And with a Levi blanket
The stars watched as we'd sleep

All the answers were simple
Our minds were clear
And now, it seems
There is a world between me and you
My dear

We would count smiling faces
And count their paces
As they all staggered
From beer to beer

Our nights were forever
And morning was just a word
We were young and clever
Worry was something not heard

Now I remember you had your blue dress on
And pretending we were royalty for just this once
Singing songs on my guitar from the front lawn
Give me one reason this night cant go on and on


Now I want it all back
