Not Going Back

Looking back on what they say are the better days

Reminiscing sitting on a paint stain porch

While sun scorched our skin

Just some young dumb kids

Rolling green-stained cigarettes

Underneath leafes turning red

A mellow autumn sky

The first time I said goodbye

But now the nights are warmer and the days are gold

(Nights are warmer and the days are gold)

Life gets harder but all I know

Is that I wouldn't go back

Past the point of no return

No, I wouldn't go back

'Cause then I'll never get to learn

How to be me

And how to be free

I'm not going back

Around the corner (around the corner)

The hands of those I left behind

They push me forward

But hold me down from time to time

Or am I wrong for wanting more

Than what my hometown had in store?

Now the nights are warmer and the days are gold

Life gets harder but all I know

Is that I wouldn't go back

Past the point of no return

No I wouldn't go back

'Cause then I'll never get to learn

How to be me

And how to be free

I'm not going back, no uo uo

I'm not going back, no uo oh oh

I'm not going back, no uo uo

I'm not going back, no uo uo oh oh

Now the nights are warmer and the days are gold

As the flights got farther away from home
