Things were different when we were young, Skimming, dipping, having fun, I remember Back in 1991, when this 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 had fun, water guns Then we all grew up, *** got tough, *** just wasn't simple enough Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh And when ever the sun came up, we'd play, we didn't wanna get older We didn't wanna get older We would run out of luck all night and day We didn't wanna get older One 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 I was scared as *** and out of touch, and I was still testing my luck Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh And when ever the sun came up, we'd play, we didn't wanna get older We didn't wanna get older We would run out of luck all night and day We didn't wanna get older Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh And when ever the sun came up, we'd play, we didn't wanna get older We didn't wanna get older I left myself in the alleyway When things were different, we were young, skinny dipping, having fun I remember I left myself in the alleyway When it would become everything I ever loved I remember I left myself in the alleyway I left myself in the alleyway I left myself in the alleyway
