Trails and Tribulations

I went back in time today
You know back to the old days
when all they had was a candle
and within that candle light manifests itself
Making the darkest room bright again

Everything about the old days 
seemed so careless and free
Go back to dancing in the rain
Muddy, fumbling, bliss
A happiness you can't contain

I want a love that will drive me insane
Fall passionately just like Romeo and Juliet
An unforgettable feeling like that
I want someone to trample me with footsteps

So that when I'm x rayed they can find proof
that I really did feel something inside 
Proof that a love like that could exist
So I went back in time today

In search of that pure love 
that pure kiss
that will lift you up
and make your body shiver

Cause I've searched hard for 
even a taste of that in our present 
and no one has even come close
to making me feel this way

So I went back in time today
and I experienced the great loves
            All up close
   and I cried as I watched the Tragedies
      Not because I was sad
         But because love like I saw
                Rarely happens
