Way Back When Lyrics by Monomoan

2021

[Chorus 1]
I miss the days when I woke up after ten
Wanna go way back when
To the days I had a basketball in my hands
Now I gotta learn something I dont understand

All I'm doing is spending all day in the rain
Calling all of my friends like the old days
But these days it feels like I'm talking to a wall
Filling up their phones with all of my missed calls

[Verse 1]
Spendin' these days locked up in my bedroom
Notebook out, online, waiting inside Zoom
All I wanna do is go outside
But being an adult means I can't abide by

Rules, rules, I wanna set for myself
These days I never think of asking for help
'Cause being an adult means fending for my health
Even though inside my brain wants to melt

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh-
Look at me now, look at me now
I can't behave within a crowd
I lag behind words in my mouth
My life has never not drove me south

I say things wrong; people run
I miss the days when I was dumb
I miss the days when I had fun
I miss the days when friends would come
Cause...

[Chorus 1]
I miss the days when I woke up after ten
Wanna go way back when
To the days I had a basketball in my hands
Now I gotta learn something I dont understand

All I'm doing is spending all day in the rain
Calling all of my friends like the old days
But these days it feels like I'm talking to a wall
Filling up their phones with all of my missed calls

[Chorus 2]
Yeah
Yeah
I'm stuck in the past
Everybody knows thats never gonna last
These days everybody's moving too fast
Maybe they should slow down and maybe look back

To see
See
Everything they leave
All of their hobbies, hopes, and their dreams
Blowing in the wind like a pile of leaves
Thinking they'd be happier looking at their screens

[Verse 2]
Deep inside we got stones to throw
Everybody's got that guilt that they know
The one thing abandoned ages ago
Something that's gonna be tough to swallow

But don't feel bad for taking a break
Feeling like your not yourself as of late
Take a moment and go outside
Soak in the silence; let it wash your mind

[Chorus 1]
I miss the days when I woke up after ten
Wanna go way back when
To the days I had a basketball in my hands
Now I gotta learn something I dont understand

All I'm doing is spending all day in the rain
Calling all of my friends like the old days
But these days it feels like I'm talking to a wall
Filling up their phones with all of my missed calls

[Chorus 2]
Yeah
Yeah
I'm stuck in the past
Everybody knows thats never gonna last
These days everybody's moving too fast
Maybe they should slow down and maybe look back

To see
See
Everything they leave
All of their hobbies, hopes, and their dreams
Blowing in the wind like a pile of leaves
Thinking they'd be happier looking at their screens
