[Verse 1]

I would never want to see the shore dry up

The blur of what is real and make-believe

The sand is getting in my eyes, no bother

I could use some water

[Chorus]

Climbing back to where we were, it's all but gone

Crawl back to the days of youth

Climbing back to where we were, it's all but gone

Crawl back to the days of youth

[Verse 2]

What I’ve learned I’ve now forgotten again

Could I please be taught how to speak

The heat is melting me away, I’m bothered

I could use a deep breath

[Chorus]

Climbing back to where we were, it's all but gone

Crawl back to the days of youth

Climbing back to where we were, it's all but gone

Crawl back to the days of youth

[Bridge]

I want to go to the shade where I learned the language of youth

Let’s cool down, it’s the heat that affects everything

Let’s cool down

Forming words inside my throat

[Chorus]

Climbing back to where we were, it's all but gone

Crawl back to the days of youth

Climbing back to where we were, it's all but gone

Crawl back to the days of youth

[Outro]

(Climbing, climbing, climbing now) To the days of youth

(Climbing, climbing, climbing now) To the days of youth
