Looked and looked
for the spark
that we once had
before life plummeted on us

used chat all night
telling stories of childhood
running through the hall
of memories

All the things we used to do
stay up all night
high on sugar
until sun signaled a new day

so young and sweet
and innocent, we were
running through the hall
of memories

If I could go back
find that spark
where I left it
would hold onto it forever

to find a way
to relive our childhood
before life plummeted on us

May find the spark
where it went out
May find the spark
in dark corner of the alley
May find the spark
somewhere in the dark

Back to the start
Back to the start
Back to the start

If I could go back
find that spark
where I left it
would hold onto it forever
