There's little me up in the tree
Think that's the neighbor's pine
The left hand corner of the screen says 1999
Oh, oh, oh she had scrapes on both her knees
Got some grass stains on her jeans
And so much time
But time don't slow down for no one
And it's gone in the blink of an eye
I wish I could go back
To headphones, backseat of the car
When the worst thing you could break
Was just a window or an arm
It flew by, oh, so fast
Out playing tee ball in the yard
Mama's voice when she'd get pissed
I never thought I'd miss that part
I'd watch those old home videos
Swear I'd jump right in the frame
There's not one thing I would change
If I could go back for a day
I'd lay in bed, and count the stars, stuck up there on the ceiling
Feel like I've spent my whole life trying to recreate that feeling
Oh, oh, oh 'cause those best friends down the street
Will be the first not last to leave
Isn't it so bittersweet?
That time don't slow down for no one
And it's gone in the blink of an eye
And I wish I could go back
To headphones, backseat of the car
When the worst thing you could break
Was just a window or an arm
It flew by, oh, so fast
Out playing tee ball in the yard
Mama's voice when she'd get pissed
I never thought I'd miss that part
I'd watch those old home videos
Swear I'd jump right in the frame
There's not one thing I would change
If I could go back for a day
Nobody tells you to your freckles how this all is gonna end
One day your dad will put you down and never pick you up again
I wish I could go back
To headphones, backseat of the car
When the worst thing you could break
Was just a window, not your heart
It flew by, oh, so fast
Out playing tee ball in the yard
Mama's voice comes from the porch
Lord knows she's still cheering me on
I watch those old home videos
I swear I'd jump right in the frame
There's not one thing I would change
If I could go back for a day
