[Intro:]
Yeah, yeah (oh...)
Now you know I have to reminisce at some point
Oh I wanna go...
Hehe, for all the people (?)
Oh I wanna go...
[Verse 1:]
Man, I want to go back to being a kid
Ah, you know when life was so easy to live (yeah)
No pressure, no reason to think
And like 3, 4, 5, and even in 6, sh**
Ask anyone, "how did it feel?"
On that night before Christmas, when Santa was real
Ah, you had to figure out the names of your gifts
Then sort them all and make it a list
You had a stocking and you get and fill it, until it was packed
And all you had to do was to leave him out some milk and a snack (haha)
Surviving was pain the night that he came
Cuz I could never get to sleep
That sh** would drive me insane
But, instead of trying I just lie there and wait
And keep my eyes on the sky, while I'm hiding my face
Just me thinking that it might be the day
That I see him fly by, riding his sleigh
Games, we're playing Mario and Sonic the Hedgehog
And back then was hang ten or rocking your sweat hog
All these things that I want in a track
It's so hard, I just wanna go back
Yeah I wanna go, go go go...
[Hook:]
Oh I wanna go
All the way (yep)
Now I know, what I would change going down that road
I wanna go back
Oh I wanna go
All the way (yep)
Now I know, what I would change going down that road
[Verse 2:]
Primary school was kinda cool
I think I picked my best friend just 'cos I liked his pool
Plus, he was always good at helping me try to
Keep my mind stable doing my times tables (ha)
You had to know them all and them in order
And everybody had to try and play the recorder (yep)
The golden age of roller blades
But in grade four, I loved skate boards way more (yeah)
I played sport, renowned as that menace
Who would always get in trouble in rounders and bat tennis (ha)
And back then if stuff was all fair
In love and warfare, it wasn't in four square (nah)
We relax playing marbles all cla**
It was, either that or trade basketball cards
Every day mum sorted all my lunch box
I wrote me out an order from the tuck shop
Polo tops, your shirts weren't bu*toned up
And everyone had run amok getting undercut (that's right)
That phase went half a week into spring
That's when I got a shaved head, and started leaving a fringe
I know, some hate it when their clothes updated but
Yo but I'd have a heart attack for a starter cap (yeah)
We got summer for three hot months
I'd still be rocking cross colours in my Reebok pumps (haha)
[Hook:]
[Verse 3:]
Yeah, and when I think of high school it starts making me sick
Inside, I can't lie yo, I hated the sh**
But it's funny 'til you get here, you never can tell
How good it really was from year seven to twelve
When you went to school from nine 'till three
Then, had to get home in time for tea
And, that's it, yep no other real worries
Except maybe do a bit of study (haha)
I'd sit there right at the back, writing a rap
I couldn't give a sh** about science or maths (nah)
But trying to write an essay neatly in my own words
No chance you ever see me doing homework (Well done)
But I just wish that I could go back now
When you leave me to stay for even a day
Then I could see what I dream when I'm on my own
And I could be there, I wanna go, I wanna go
[Hook:]
I wanna go back
(Oh I wanna go oh I wanna... Go) yep
I wanna go back
(Oh I wanna go oh I wanna... Go) yep
I wanna go back
Oh I wanna go
Oh I wanna go
Oh I wanna go
Oh I wanna go
