Back Then Lyrics by Aceeno

Coming On Up

2019

[Chorus]
Times may have changed, times-times may have changed
Times may have changed, but I've still been the same since back then
Times may have changed, times-times may have changed
Times may have changed, but I've still been the same since back then
Back then I was something else (Something else, something else)
Mainly would keep to myself (To myself, to myself)
Hope to not repeat a grade (Repeat a grade, repeat a grade)
And be able to graduate (Graduate, graduate)

[Verse 1]
Back then I was something else, somewhat popular
Mainly would keep to myself, never acted hard
Often teased about how I spoke, choosing not to cuss, or defending ladies
Hung around many different cliques, trying to keep my goofiness from escaping
Those days were what was to be expected
Feelings were tested, buttons were smushed
Talents emerged while friendships would be smushed
Then there was love, it would stay or it'd pass by
I was blessed to have it then only one time
Lasted a fair amount of months for both of us
And I still don't really get why we broke up
But anyway, let me keep myself on topic
If I could relive those years again, I would and that's not nonsense
Why you may ask? Well, to take them more seriously
And correct some moments that could've went better for me

[Chorus]
Times may have changed, times-times may have changed
Times may have changed, but I've still been the same since back then
Times may have changed, times-times may have changed
Times may have changed, but I've still been the same since back then
Back then I was something else (Something else, something else)
Mainly would keep to myself (To myself, to myself)
Hope to not repeat a grade (Repeat a grade, repeat a grade)
And be able to graduate (Graduate, graduate)

[Verse 2]
Back then, I was just getting through, hoping I wouldn't have to repeat a grade
I struggled a lot, did as much as I could, and somehow I was able to graduate
But could've done better if I had applied myself harder
Maybe been in the top ten percent of my class, but I didn't even bother
My focus was mainly centered on putting words together in a particular fashion
Then, placing them to music with only instruments to perfect the flow of them until I had it
That was back then, when I played snare drum
Wearing it out from countless rhythms
At competitions and football games
Plus a lot of band practice days
I could honestly say, I was well-liked and had no enemies
Never let anything bad get to me
Constantly told I was nice and friendly
And had no problems with doing favors for others
Not expecting anything back because I mean, what for?

[Chorus]
Times may have changed, times-times may have changed
Times may have changed, but I've still been the same since back then
Times may have changed, times-times may have changed
Times may have changed, but I've still been the same since back then
Back then I was something else (Something else, something else)
Mainly would keep to myself (To myself, to myself)
Hope to not repeat a grade (Repeat a grade, repeat a grade)
And be able to graduate (Graduate, graduate)
