[Verse 1]

The thousand times I lived before were just in my dreams

Well, I woke up to realize it didn't mean a thing

I've seen several better places, several better times

Somehow all those memories got left behind

[Chorus]

Gimme back that year, good or bad

Gimme back something that I never knew I had

[Verse 2]

I guess it all boils down to is just a second guess

But it's so goddamn long ago, it's hard to feel I did my best

And I think of our relationship and all its distant ties

And why I can't see that anymore in your eyes

[Chorus]

Gimme back that year, good or bad

Gimme back something that I never knew I had

[Bridge]

Well, I sit and watch it go by

Oh, I sit and watch shit go by

Go by

[Outro]

That year
