Retrace - Anberlin

Oh, how I’ve tried to get you out of my head

And I lie broken in words I said

Never thought I’d walk on this street again

Standing where it all began

Tried to forget when I left this town

But it takes me right back when I come back around

Retrace the steps we took on that long summer night

I’m back there by your side

Retrace the steps we took when we met worlds away

Counting backwards while the stars are falling

Oh, how I find, every subtle thing screams your name

It reminds me of places and times we’ve shared

Couldn’t live locked in these memories

Now I’m chained to my thoughts again

And I tried to forget when I left this town

But I’ll take you right back if you come back around

Retrace the steps we took on that long summer night

I’m back there by your side

Retrace the steps we took when we met worlds away

Counting backwards while the stars are falling

I need some shelter I, need some safety

Photographs, they haunt me lately

Chasing shadows as the evening takes me

I’m still searching, but the picture’s fading

Retrace the steps we took on that long summer night

I’m back there by your side

Retrace the steps we took when we met worlds away

Counting backwards, still counting backwards

And nowhere else has ever felt like home

And I can’t fall asleep when I’m lying here alone

I replay your voice, it’s like you’re here

You move the earth, but now the sky is falling

Retrace the steps we took on that long summer night

In my mind, I’m back by your side

Retrace the steps we took when we met worlds away

Counting backwards while the stars are falling
