Nostalgia washes over us like a gentle wave when we revisit the places of our youth. This reflective track explores the universal experience of looking back at childhood memories with both fondness and melancholy. The singer reminisces about pivotal moments from his past - from searching for a stolen bike with his father to shopping trips with his mother, and later teenage experiences of first encounters with alcohol and romance. The recurring chorus emphasizes the sense of limitless possibility and innocence that defined childhood, contrasting it with the complexities and "scars" of adult life. Through specific memories like drawing with chalk on asphalt and sneaking into movie theaters, the song captures how even simple experiences felt magical during youth. It's an ode to a time when life seemed simpler and friendship felt unbreakable.
Back When We Were Kids
Lyrics
Walking these streets again, thinking back when I was ten
When my bike got stolen and dad, he drove me
Till we found that old thing in
In that sketchy parking lot, behind the market that's long gone
Where I used to roll that shopping cart down every aisle with mom
I miss when
Back when we were kids and the world was ours
Back when we were kids, before all the scars
Back when we were kids, where we'd never part
Back when we were kids, everything felt like this
Back when we were kids, everything felt like this
Back when we were kids
It's been playing in my head, seeing these posters above my bed
About the first night that I got drunk, and everything we said
All we talked about was girls and booze, but we never had a plan
And the only thing we ever knew, is when the cops showed up we ran
I miss when
Back when we were kids and the world was ours
Back when we were kids, before all the scars
Back when we were kids, where we'd never part
Back when we were kids, everything felt like this
Back when we were kids, everything felt like this
Back when we were kids
Every road, driving in
I was so innocent
Reminiscient about trying to get the explicit edition of Eminem
Man, back when we were kids again
When we only went to movies for the back row
When we only needed chalk and the asphalt
We knew this would happen
To be back to back to back when, back when, back when
Back when we were kids and the world was ours
Back when we were kids, before all the scars
Back when we were kids, where we'd never part
Back when we were kids, everything felt like this
Back when we were kids and the world was ours
Back when we were kids, before all the scars
Back when we were kids, where we'd never part
Back when we were kids, everything felt like this
Back when we were kids
