My mind is bringing me back to easier days
When fun was riding a bike without any brakes
When you’re part of the pack because of your address 
My mind is bringing me back to easier days

If I could turn back time
If I could clear my mind
If I could come back home, when mom and dad were both alive
Tell me, where do I sign?

Our child is bringing me back to easier days
When fun was staying up late and dancing in the rain
When I was crushing on you all summer break
Our child is bringing me back to easier days

If I could turn back time
If I could clear my mind
If I could come back home, when mom and dad were both alive
Tell me, where do I sign?

I wished upon a star
That I’d never move far
That I’d feel this way evermore, evermore
That I’d stay forever young
That you’d be the one I love
That we’d feel this way evermore, evermore

If I could turn back time
If I could clear my mind
If I could come back home, when mom and dad were both alive

If I could turn back time
If I could clear my mind
If I could come back home, when mom and dad were both alive
Tell me, where do I sign?

The skies are bringing me back to easier days

Tough Times Never Last Entertainment 

Let Me Rest (prod SHVRS)

The Hopheads - No Chance Saloon

This song celebrates the expressive power of slide guitar blues.  The verses focus on the physical act of playing, describing the fingers dancing across the fretboard and the smooth, slow start of the slide guitar.  The imagery evokes a sense of intimacy and concentration, as if the guitarist is deeply connected to their instrument. The guitar's sound is described as painting pictures and resonating with truth, suggesting that the music conveys emotions and stories that words cannot. The choruses use the metaphor of a "silent/mute canvas" to represent the guitar before the music begins.  The fingers are the artist's tools, and the slide blues is the language they use to express feelings and uncover hidden depths within the silence. The repeated line about the "purest shade" and "energizing solo" emphasizes the raw, powerful emotion conveyed through the music.  The overall theme is the trans-formative power of music, particularly slide guitar blues, to communicate deep emotions and break through the silence.
