[Verse 1]
I found a photo in the drawer
Faded corners, summer dirt
Bare feet on that front porch
Momma calling, "time to learn"

We was broke but we was rich
Shared one bike, one ice cream cone
You said, "keep your little dreams"
I still hear it when I'm low

[Pre-Chorus]
Now I'm older, moving fast
Trying not to miss the road
But your laugh keeps pulling back
To the place I used to know

[Chorus]
Hold me close, hold me close
Polaroid in my pocket
Hold me close, hold me close
Can't outgrow what made me
Love me deep, love me deep
Let the old days rock me
Hold me close, hold me close
Polaroid in my pocket

[Verse 2]
I kissed a few, I lost a few
Watched my own heart learn the hard way
Some goodbyes came dressed in gold
Some came quiet in the hallway

Now I see it clearer, baby
Every scar is just a map
To the boy who ran through rain
And still came home with grass on slacks

[Pre-Chorus]
Now I'm older, moving fast
Trying not to miss the road
But your laugh keeps pulling back
To the place I used to know

[Chorus]
Hold me close, hold me close
Polaroid in my pocket
Hold me close, hold me close
Can't outgrow what made me
Love me deep, love me deep
Let the old days rock me
Hold me close, hold me close
Polaroid in my pocket

[Bridge]
(Oh) if I lose my way tonight
Let that little kid light up my mind
(Oh) with a scraped-up name and a secondhand pride
I still know how to come back alive

[Chorus]
Hold me close, hold me close
Polaroid in my pocket
Hold me close, hold me close
Can't outgrow what made me
Love me deep, love me deep
Let the old days rock me
Hold me close, hold me close
Polaroid in my pocket
