Old Haunts

Take me
Back to my old haunts
Have they changed while i’ve been aging
The places where i lost and found my
Faith in
Truth and restoration
The trials that taught me patience
Would you smile if i could be there

The moments lost
Seem to dwarf all the memories
I can replay in my head
Every chance that i botched
Thank God i’m a new man now

And that bittersweet Sunday remembering
Hits me harder when i’m falling asleep
I wonder if sometimes you include mе
In the version of nostalgia that shows up in your daydreams

Naivеte was all that i had
To guide me through the seasons
These places tell a brighter story
Than what took residence in my head
Rose-tinting all the reasons
I left for greener pastures
That i paid for in blood

I shouldn’t mistake all the worst
For the past i believe in
My fondness will carry on
For people and places and times
Even if we’re not speaking
Just know how i feel about you

Now from afar
In all the moments i envied
I still replay in my head
Every chance that i botched
Thank God i’ve been born a new man

Take me
Back to my old haunts, have
They changed while i’ve been aging
The places where i lost and found my
Faith in
Truth and restoration
The trials that taught me patience
Would you smile if i could be there
