Not Going Back

Looking back on what they say are the better days Reminiscing sitting on a paint stain porch While sun scorched our skin Just some young dumb kids Rolling green-stained cigarettes Underneath leafes turning red A mellow autumn sky The first time I said goodbye But now the nights are warmer and the days are gold (Nights are warmer and the days are gold) Life gets harder but all I know Is that I wouldn't go back Past the point of no return No, I wouldn't go back 'Cause then I'll never get to learn How to be me And how to be free I'm not going back Around the corner (around the corner) The hands of those I left behind They push me forward But hold me down from time to time Or am I wrong for wanting more Than what my hometown had in store? Now the nights are warmer and the days are gold Life gets harder but all I know Is that I wouldn't go back Past the point of no return No I wouldn't go back 'Cause then I'll never get to learn How to be me And how to be free I'm not going back, no uo uo I'm not going back, no uo oh oh I'm not going back, no uo uo I'm not going back, no uo uo oh oh Now the nights are warmer and the days are gold As the flights got farther away from home
