Looking Back
Verse 1
The photos by your bed remind me of old times
In faded black and white so long ago
It seemed the sun was always shining.
We were always smiling
Those childhood days so long ago

Verse 2
We didn’t have much as we grew up together
Playing in ruined streets In the snow
We took the best from what we could get
How could we ever forget?
Those childhood days so long ago

Chorus 1
Old friends drift apart, it’s the way life goes
Moving in other circles, wearing different clothes
How can we go back to those innocent times?
It was so much simpler then. Before thought was a crime.

Instrumental

Verse 3
Our journeys took us in opposite directions
Childhood friendships faded away
Our paths no longer coincided
And the wall divided
We were so close but couldn’t be further away

Chorus 2
Old friends drift apart. Can’t remember when we last met
With different paths to follow. Other stories to forget
What we shared has made us strong for what is to come
You will need it for the final game now you’re the chosen one

Verse 4
East and West mean nothing now we all end the same
I hold your hand just like I did in that childhood game
As I feel you drift away, do you know I’m even there?
I know it won’t be long. I know it won’t be long
Till I join you in a new childhood song
