i miss those days where we would party
i miss those days where we would cook out
and all those nights where we would look out
the front porch screen and we would talk ‘bout
everything happenin’ on the block & the world how

i want those days back, i need all of your love
i dream of those days where i could embrace through touch
i miss those days i really want all of your love
i miss those days i want them back now

i miss those days i want them back now
i miss those days, said i want them right now
i miss those days i want to feel all of your love
i miss those days i want to feel all of your touch
