Take Me Back
J. P. LeBlanc Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Summer love and full of dreams
That’s when you were with me
Heart out feeling free
Late-night drives and MTV
And I miss those days
All that fun
Everything we had
Was never done
And I think about you now
All the memories we shared
Being young, on the run
Getting sun, having fun
Every Saturday night
Can we go back
To what we had
I tell myself
The past will last
Moment by moment
Flashbacks of you
Polaroid pictures
Of me and you
Drive-in movies
Midnight gaze
Memories that will never fade
Take me back
To classic days
When fresh Prince ruled Bel Air
Crop tops
Colored jeans
The things we use to wear out
When the sun would kiss our skin
To 98 take me back
Ooooo Ooooo
Take me back
Rollerblades and ripped up jeans
Tie-dyed shirts and light up sneaks
Chalk art and night swims
Favorite things that we did
I miss those days
Of you and me
When we were young wild and free
And I think about those times
When you were by my side
Sneaking out, breaking down, letting go
With the flow
There was never a no
We had it good
So Let’s go back
Make memories
That always last
Moment by moment
Flashbacks of you
Polaroid pictures
Of me and you
Drive-in movies
Midnight gaze
Memories that will never fade
Take me back
To classic days
When fresh Prince ruled Bel Air
Crop tops
Colored jeans
The things we use to wear out
When the sun would kiss our skin
To 98 take me back
Oooooo Oooooo
Take me back
Take me back
Denim skirts
Take me back
To graphic Ts
Take me back to Friday nights
With sitcoms on tv
Take me back
To classic days
When we would never sleep
Ooooooo Oooooo
Take me back
Take me back
To classic days
When fresh Prince ruled Bel Air
Crop tops
Colored jeans
The things we use to wear out
When the sun would kiss our skin
To 98 take me back
Oooooo Oooooo
Take me back
Take me back
Denim skirts
Take me back
To graphic Ts
Take me back to Friday nights
With sitcoms on tv
Take me back
To classic days
When we would never sleep




Ooooooo Oooooo
Take me back
