Emile Haynie - Alleyways lyrics

[Verse 1] If things were different, we were young Skinny dipping, having fun, I remember Back in 1991, when the story first begun, I remember (I remember) All of these shells, holding the things I've done I knew myself before I knew anyone [Bridge 1] 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, sh** got tough sh** just wasn't simple enough [Hook] 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) [Bridge 2] What a mistake, saying the way I felt I'd say my main influence is myself And cause I started young, I learned a ton, I didn't run La, da-da-da-da-da I was scared as f** and out of touch, and I was still testing my luck, oh [Extended Hook] 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 [Outro] 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)
