[Hook]
Go back in time when we were kids
Minding are business doing what we dig
Most wounds handled with a band-aid and a kiss
We all miss being innocent
Good days with mishaps
Bad ended with ice-cream
Perhaps are mistakes
Made me, from this lil kid
To this mid teen
I couldn't believe
Ideas to great actions
Fun games turned into grand pa**ions
-
Changed so much over the years
Now only thinking about my career
Fearing the only constant that's change
Sorta wished most stayed the same
Sorta wished most stayed the same
[Verse 1]
The time when we were dumb and only cared about fun
Life was great without s**, jail, or d**
Having the time of our life while beating on a drum
Playing on the playground and swinging on the swings
Being high meant how high on the swing
Best friends turned quick into worst enemies
The superheroes and princesses we wished to be
Boys to girls and girls to boys had cooties
Everything great felt like it was gonna happen again
Everyday felt a lot like the weekend
Only cool kids were brownies and cub scouts
Going to play, but now we say hang out
We're Jealous of the rich kids who got it all
On holidays their parents just cleaned out the mall
We all just really wanted to grow up
Used to say hello now say what's up
Best times when we used to have recess
I was fun being faster than the rest
Talking to girls mostly being a pest
Didn't have finals or quizzes only small test
Playing army that I called brothers in arms
Into boy things like action figures and cars
Play 500 and getting stuck in tar
Saying we are gonna runaway, didn't go far
Maybe at lease to the next door neighbor's yard
Ha, no need for an Amber Alarm

[Verse 2]
Visiting a friend didn't want the time to end
Mom came to pick up, hiding hoping we could play again
Girls played house and Red Rover
Previously plan play dates, now just come over
Used to watch TV now push the lawn mover
Watching SpongeBob to Jimmy Neutron
Rocking out singing along to shows theme songs
Go to the backyard into the sandbox
Dig all the way to China if or if not
Yeah, Call it a day and then night hits
Just like school fights and call quits
Accidentally call the police trying to call mom
Get lost in the mall
An honest mistake nobody cares at all
Hard puzzle that we can't solve
Unless when we have it our way
McDonalds, if we were critics they'll have the best grade
Adventures with are imagination took us far away
Outside was my favorite place
If I didn't know your name
I would call you friend
Stereotypes never in the blend
Crayons were legit
Helmets was protection
Everything so minor
On the contraire
Birthdays & holidays
Set all the time
On a colossal scale
Failed to make a horrible mistake
No tough ties
Only fear for shots
Everything so easy
Then hits middle school
Everyone thought that we were a little cool
This is when my talent started to erupt
And we can't wait to grow up
