Oh, how I've tried to get you out of my head   And I lied, broken words I said   Never thought I'd walk on this street again   Standing where it all began      Tried to forget when I left this town   Well it takes me right back when I come back around      Retrace the steps we took on that long summer night   I'm back there by your side   Retrace the steps we took when we met worlds away   Counting backwards while the stars are falling      Oh, now I find every subtle thing screams your name   It reminds me of places and times we shared   Couldn't live locked in these memories   Now I'm chained to my thoughts again      And I tried to forget when I left this town   But I'll take you right back if you come back around      Retrace the steps we took on that long summer night   I'm back there by your side   Retrace the steps we took when we met worlds away   Counting backwards while the stars are falling      I need some shelter, I need some safety   Photographs they, haunt me lately   Chasing shadows as the evening takes me   I'm still searching, but the picture's fading      Retrace the steps we took on that long summer night   I'm back there by your side   Retrace the steps we took when we met worlds away   Counting backwards, still counting backwards      And no where else has ever felt like home   And I can't fall asleep when I'm lying here alone   I replay your voice, it's like you're here   You move the earth, but now the sky is falling      Retrace the steps we took on that long summer night   In my mind, I'm back by your side   Retrace the steps we took when we met worlds away   Counting backwards while the stars are falling
