Alleyways Lyrics

If things were different, we were young
Skinny dippin′, havin' fun, I remember
Back in 1991, when the story first begun, I remember (I remember)

All of these shelves, holdin′ the things I've done
I knew myself before I knew anyone (I did, I did)

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, ah
Ah
Ah

And whenever the sun came out, we′d play
(We didn't wanna get older, we didn′t wanna get older)
We would run on the block all night and day
(We didn't wanna get older)

What a mistake sayin′ 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, la-da-da-da-da-da
I was scared as fuck and out of touch
And I was still testin' my luck, oh, ah
Ah
Ah

And whenever the sun came out, we′d play
(We didn′t wanna get older, we didn't wanna get older)
We would run on the block all night and day
(We didn′t wanna get older, we didn't wanna get older) no, no, no
And whenever the sun came out, we′d play
(We didn't wanna get older, we didn′t wanna get older)
I left myself in the alleyway

If things were different, we were young
Skinny dippin', havin' 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)
