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)
