We wore our dreams like faded jeans
A time when phones had little screens
We played our songs on silver discs
And swore we'd take the wildest risks
Back in 2009, oh how we'd shine
Thought the world was ours the stars aligned
Our hearts sang louder than the online hum
Oh take me back to where I come from
We'd dance in the rain with messed-up hair
No Instagram just memories bare
The nights felt longer the sky so wide
Laughing with friends till the sunrise lied
Back in 2009 oh how we'd shine
Thought the world was ours the stars aligned
Our hearts sang louder than the online hum
Oh take me back to where I come from
No filters no blame just life unplanned
With fearless steps and no demand
We'd dream in colors now black and white
Oh 2009 you were my light
The clock keeps ticking but plays no fair (ah-ah-ah)
I search for hints of magic somewhere (ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)
The echoes of then they call my name
But nothing now feels quite the same
Back in 2009 oh how we'd shine (shine, yeah)
Thought the world was ours the stars aligned (oh-oh-woah)
Our hearts sang louder than the online hum (yeah-eh-eh-eh)
Oh take me back to where I come from (from, oh-oh-oh)
