[Verse 1]
My father always said that love was putting all her needs before mine
He was right
But my generation views it very differently than he and his time
We’ve lost sight

[Pre-Chorus]
But I'm finding out now
Maybe we've watered love down
Used to matter where we were
Used to mean every word

[Chorus]
But distant are the days
Three words had some weight
Bring me back that throwback love
I know I may be young
But I can't be the only one
Asking for that throwback love

[Pre-Chorus]
But I'm finding out now
Maybe we've watered love down
Used to matter where we were
Used to mean every word
But

[Chorus]
Distant are the days
Three words had some weight
Bring me back that throwback love
I know I may be young
But I can't be the only one
Asking for that throwback love

Live through memories
Of how it used to be
Bring me back that throwback love
I pray once this is done
I won't be the only one
Asking for that throwback love
