Back Like We Never Left

[Intro]
Yeah
Anthony, Jahzeel, Justin
Some people leave for a season
Then come back like they never left
This one’s for the crew

[Verse 1]
I remember back when we first linked up
Young kids, big laughs, didn’t think much
Crosswind days, weekends, all fun
Didn’t know those memories would hit this strong

Fishing lines out in the freezing cold
Ice on the lake, but the stories got told
Dinner after church, lunches after long days
Laughing at the table in our own little way

Anthony was solid, Jahzeel had that smile
Respect every time, yeah, that always stood out
Then y’all moved away and it didn’t feel right
Like the whole crew changed in the middle of life

But time kept moving and we kept pushing
Kept those memories like old-school footage
Now you’re back in town and it hits like home
Like a missing piece finally found its own

[Pre-Chorus]
Now the crew’s back up and the vibe feels right
Old friends, new season, same fire inside
After all the hard roads y’all been through
It’s good to see better days finally breaking through

[Chorus]
Back like we never lost time
Back like the old days hit rewind
Road got rough but we still came through
Same old crew with a brand-new view

Back from the storm, scars and all
Still standing tall after every fall
Real friends, real stories, memories that last
You were gone for a season
Now the crew’s back

[Verse 2]
I heard life got heavy, yeah, I know it got rough
But look at your family, still rising up
Better place now, new keys, new ride
Momma got a car and a little more light

That’s not just luck, that’s a breakthrough move
That’s doors opening when you needed proof
And I’m proud of who you are, proud of where you’re headed
You had every reason to quit, but you never let it

Justin been smiling different since you came around
Like a piece of his heart got found somehow
Old crew, new chapter, same bond, same two
Same memories, same laughs, but a whole new view

We don’t gotta say much, we just know what it means
A few real friends can change everything
After all that distance, after all that past
Y’all came back strong, and the crew came back

[Chorus]
Back like we never lost time
Back like the old days hit rewind
Road got rough but we still came through
Same old crew with a brand-new view

Back from the storm, scars and all
Still standing tall after every fall
Real friends, real stories, memories that last
You were gone for a season
Now the crew’s back

[Verse 3]
And I’ll never forget that day at the rec center pool
Everybody laughing, just trying to stay cool
Jahzeel went under, Justin jumped in fast
Trying to be brave, trying to pull him back

But the water got heavy, fear hit quick
One went down, then two got mixed
I swam out hard, had to reach through the waves
Got you both up, still shook by that day

Lifeguard came in and helped us through
But I still feel it when I think about you
That moment was scary, yeah, we all got shaken
Some close calls teach you life is sacred

Now every laugh hits a little more deep
Every hangout feels like something to keep
We made it through waves, we made it through fear
And somehow we’re all still standing right here

[Bridge]
So when we ride now, it means a little more
When we laugh now, it hits for sure
Fishing trips, dinners, memories we made
Old bonds came back and they didn’t fade

No fake love, no surface talk
Real ones know what the hard roads cost
From cold lakes to pool waves, yeah, we got a past
But the best part is now the crew’s back

[Final Chorus]
Back like we never lost time
Back like the old days hit rewind
Road got rough but we still came through
Same old crew with a brand-new view

Back from the storm, scars and all
Still standing tall after every fall
Real friends, real stories, memories that last
You were gone for a season
Now the crew’s back

Back like family, back like home
Back like none of us had to walk alone
We got stories, we got scars
We got laughs that last
You were gone for a season
Now the crew’s back

[Outro]
Anthony
Jahzeel
Justin
Old friends
New chapter
Back like we never left
