A Way Back to Then
Lyrics
Dancing in the backyard Kool-aid moustache and butterfly wings Hearing Andrea McArdle sing From the hi-fi in the den I've been waiting my whole life To find a way back to then I aimed for the sky A nine-year-old can see so far I'll conquer the world and be a star I'll do it all by the time I'm ten I would know that confidence If I knew a way back to then So I bailed on my hometown And became a college theatre dork I was eastbound and down Moving to New York So I crammed my life in a U-Haul To find my part of it all But the mundane sets in We play by the rules And plough through the days The years take us miles away From the time we wondered when We'd find a way back to then And when you least expect Opportunity walks through the door You suddenly connect With the thing that you forgot That you were looking for And there you are Right in the middle of what you love With the craziest of company You're having a kick-ass time And being who you wanted to be in this world You're that little girl With her wings unfurled Flying again Back in your backyard dancing I found a way back to then.
