Ward Thomas - Way Back When Lyrics

Do you remember back when walls were high
And you had to really try to find a 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 could 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 told 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 yea-eaa ahhhh

Seeing you now, I question how we've changed
Our generation games not one I played
From big to small, I know you've seen it all
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 worlds 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 told 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 yea-eaa ahhhh

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

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 told 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
Screens were grey, what's it like to play
My role back then?
I was told 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
Dabadaba dohh ehhh-eehh ohh oohh-yea-aah
