Alleyways

Lyrics

If things were different, we were young
 Skinny dipping, having fun, I remember
 Back in 1991, when the story first begun, I remember
 ♪
 All of these shells, holding the things I've done
 
 I knew myself before I knew anyone
 
 And 'cause we all chew gum
 We all have fun with water guns
 La da da da da da
 Da da dum dum dum
 And we all grew up, shit got tough
 Shit just wasn't simple enough, no
 ♪
 And whenever the sun came out, we played
 (We didn't want to get older, we didn't want to get older)
 We would run on the block all night and day
 (We didn't want to get older)
 What a mistake, saying the way I felt
 ♪
 I'd say my main influences myself
 
 And 'cause I started young
 I learned it done, I didn't run
 La da da da da da
 I was scared as fuck and out of touch
 And I was still testing my luck, oh
 ♪
 And whenever the sun came out, we played
 (We didn't want to get older, we didn't want to get older)
 We would run on the block all night and day
 (We didn't want to get older, we didn't want to get older)
 And whenever the sun came out, we played
 (We didn't want to get older, we didn't want to get older)
 I left myself in the alleyway
 If things were different, we were young
 Skinny dipping, having fun, I remember
 (I left myself in the alleyway)
 All I wanted would become everything I ever loved, I remember
 (I left myself in the alleyway)
 
 If things were different, we were young
 Skinny dipping, having fun, I remember
 Back in 1991, when the story first begun, I remember
 ♪
 All of these shells, holding the things I've done
 
 I knew myself before I knew anyone
 
 And 'cause we all chew gum
 We all have fun with water guns
 La da da da da da
 Da da dum dum dum
 And we all grew up, shit got tough
 Shit just wasn't simple enough, no
