Oh how I’ve tried to get you out of my head
And I lied with 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 lost 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 lost 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 lost summer night
I’m back there by your side
Retrace the steps we took when we met
Worlds away counting backwards, still counting backwards

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 lost summer night
In my mind, I’m back there by your side
Retrace the steps we took when we met
Worlds away counting backwards while the stars are falling
