Lyrics

Back Then Yves Stilmant © 2025
Verse 1
We were seventeen, running wild through July
Your hand in mine, stars in the sky
That old Ford truck with the rust on the door
Felt like freedom, we didn't need more
Pre-Chorus
Radio loud, hearts beatin' in time
We swore we'd never leave this town behind
Chorus
Back then, we had it all
First kiss, first ride, first late-night call
Laughin' like the world would never bend
We didn't know we'd miss it back then
But oh, how I'd go back again
Verse 2
Sneakers on the wire, names carved in a tree
That summer night you first said you loved me
Everything new, and the world was so wide
But all that mattered was you by my side
Pre-Chorus
Midnight roads, dreams we couldn't name
Believin' we would always stay the same
Chorus
Back then, we had it all
First kiss, first ride, first late-night call
Laughin' like the world would never bend
We didn't know we'd miss it back then
But oh, how I'd go back again
Outro
To that old truck, that first slow dance
The look in your eyes, our reckless plans
Time moved on, but in my heart, it's when
We were alive -- back then
