Way Back When

歌詞

Do you remember back when walls were high, And you had to really try to find your way? Did you feel cut off from your friends back home, Without your mobile phone to pass your time away? I can't begin to understand how you were walking hand in hand With people who shaped this world If I can just be half the girl I see when I look at you So tell me about all the things you did When your jeans were flared and your hair was big The screens were grey, what's it like to play my role back then? I was taught to never look back 'Cause everyone knows that the world ain't flat So sit me down and turn me around to way back when, yeah Seeing you now I question how we've changed Our generation game's not one I played From big to small, I know you've seen it all And now I live my life by the things you gave You felt like you were in a safer place Didn't have to hide your face just to fit within the rules And the world's all yours So tell me about all the things you did When your jeans were flared and your hair was big The screens were grey, what's it like to play my role back then? I was taught to never look back 'Cause everyone knows that the world ain't flat So sit me down and turn me around to way back when, yeah We've got to keep it all alive And help your history survive Respect the people who were here before us Now tell me what you think about this Can you see all the things that we've missed? So we'll begin to write some stories of our own So tell me about all the things you did When your jeans were flared and your hair was big The screens were grey, what's it like to play my role back then? I was taught to never look back 'Cause everyone knows that the world ain't flat So sit me down and turn me around to way back when Tell me about all the things you did When your jeans were flared and your hair was big The screens were grey, what's it like to play my role back then? I was taught to never look back 'Cause everyone knows that the world ain't flat So sit me down and turn me around to way back when Da ba da da, hey oh yeah
