We were riding through the woods with our bikes
We got scared when it got darker at night
'Cause everyone was missing safety lights
So we tried to use our flashlight as a guide
And now I'm standing in an overcrowded train
Picturing the times we had as children while the rain
Is pouring down the windows and people push their way

I've seen better days
I've seen better days

Take me back to my hometown
Take me back to my loved ones
We were kids now we're all grown
Back in my hometown
Take me back to my hometown
Back to my loved ones
Back to my hometown
Back to my hometown

We would sing and watch the campfire glow
Telling stories as the sunset approached
Felt like we were better off on our own
Now I wish that we would never have grown

And now I'm standing in an overcrowded train
Picturing the times we had as children while the rain
Is pouring down the windows and people push their way

I've seen better days
I've seen better days
(I've seen better days)

Take me back to my hometown
Take me back to my loved ones
We were kids now we're all grown
Back in my hometown
Back to my hometown
Back to my hometown
Back to my hometown
