Play This Song

if anyone had peered into one of our windows,
they’d have seen us having more fun than they could ever know
but life has a funny way,
it always turns the page
today becomes tomorrow
even if we don’t act our age
there’s one thing that lingers
it’s always on my mind
it’s a secret i have to
go back in time
play this song
play this song
we used to dance
till the night was gone
lights down low, the music on
close your eyes and sing along
when you play this song
we were never one to wallow
in our sorrows or our state
didn’t like waiting on tomorrow
or relying much on fate
as i look back through the lens
of my memories and my mind
i see happier people
in a happier time
we didn’t have the answers
made em up as we went along.
trying to be good people
telling right from wrong
we learned some things
valueable lessons along the way
if you’re looking for an answer
this is what i’d say
play this song
play this song
i’d be lying if i said i was wrong
you know the words
c’mon and sing along
close your eyes and remember me
when you play this song
now facts are facts,
i’m certain that,
one thing that i know
my reputation is well earned
but if i could go back,
i’m certain that
i’d re-build all the bridges
that i burned
looking back on those days
i can’t help but say
i shoulda done better
should have found another way
i couldn’t change my act
i’m sorry that
we both took different paths
there’s too much water under that bridge, hell we can’t do that math
but i think back some days
to those happy times
hot weather, hot music
candles and wine
you’re standing there
with your long hair
party dress is one
there’s only one way i can get back
to those days that are gone.
i play this song
play this song
i play this gon
play this song
i’d be lying if i’d say i was wrong
you know the words
c’mon and sing along
i will always remember you
when i play this song
i will always remember you
when i play this song
