Back In The Day Lyrics - Blues Traveler

It's been a while since I've left home 

But I'm coming on back today 

Kinda funny but I picture it only exactly as it 

Was back in the day 

Sure enough when the train pulls in 

There's so little that I recognize 

Is it the scenery or my selective memory 

Or just a simple fact that I gotta realize? 

My friends have gone and their lives have 

Moved on and I guess that's just the way it is 

If this town has grown beyond my home 

I guess it all comes down to this 

I close my eyes and feel like it was back in the day 

But those times have long been through 

The dying of the light is gone but it's back in the day 

Like a wish that comes half true 

There was a time when it was easy to find a 

Hangout that you knew was yours by name 

And mine or not I could find the same spot but 

It's never gonna be the same 

I've been away and I've seen too much 

Looks like I've been moving on as well 

And when I started to not really belong 

I suppose I was unable to tell 

But I ain't sad and no it isn't bad 

It's just one more thing I'm coming to know 

If you're alive you didn't finish the ride 

No telling where it's going to go 

I close my eyes and feel like it was back in the day 

But those times have long been through 

The dying of the light is gone but it's back in the day 

Like a wish that comes half true 

It's been a while since I left home 

But I'm coming on back today 

Kinda funny but I picture it only exactly as it 

Was back in the day 

I close my eyes and feel like it was back in the day 

But those times have long been through 

The dying of the light is gone but it's back in the day 

Like a wish that comes half true 

I close my eyes and feel like it was back in the day 

But those times have long been through 

The dying of the light is gone but it's back in the day 

Like a wish that comes half true
