Simpler days, take me back Take me back, take me back Nutella crepes and the Eiffel Tower Nowhere to be, just lost for hours
I recognized your handwriting Maybe you were here I smelled your scent but it wasn’t you I was thinking wishfully I thought that you were near Well maybe you were, maybe you weren’t
All I ever wanted, was to be by your side To be in the open All I ever wanted, was to be by your side All I ever wanted, was to be by your side To be in the open All I ever wanted I wanted to be better for you I wanted to be better for you Better for you I wanted to be better for you
Now I find I’m slidin’ Everything’s surprising me Makes me dizzy, babe why do you tease me? A pocket full of countries Every note a different shape Every bill a different face Everything was easy
I recognized your handwriting Maybe you were here I smelled your scent but it wasn’t you I was thinking wishfully I thought that you were near Well maybe you were, maybe you weren’t
All I ever wanted, was to be by your side To be in the open All I ever wanted, was to be by your side All I ever wanted, was to be by your side To be in the open All I ever wanted I wanted to be better for you I wanted to be better for you Better for you I wanted to be better for you
I wanted to be better for you I wanted to be better for you
