Back Then Lyrics by Oxomo

0

Looking way back
Back to the summer days
Drinking on the beach when we wouldn’t change shit
The world was full of bliss
Thinking bout my first ever drink, spliff and kiss
Forgetting time exists
Messy parties in the sticks, drunk as fuck
We stumble through the city taking risks
Skipping school to smoke a ciggie
Spotted by the teachers
Tryna make a statement while they stood
No one understood how quick it passes
Now time has got us shook
No more skipping classes
Just drinking in the crib from dirty glasses
Feeling kinda lost but those memories are lasting
Tryna stop thе time from passing
Smoking haze in the morning
I’m hazy and I’m yawning
Nothings changеd there
Just a stoner reminiscing getting older
World spinning while I’m sitting on my sofa
While I’m sitting on my sofa

Shit was different back then
Tryna bring it back now
Take it where it went
But I didn’t back down
Got me wondering how
We made it this far
This world is kinda fucked but it’s blatantly ours
Shit was different back then
Tryna bring it back now
Take it where it went
But I didn’t back down
Got me wondering how
We made it this far
This world is kinda fucked but it’s blatantly ours

Slurried skies
Couple bevvys for that spring season
We stay elated till the worlds are all defeated
See the enemy receding
Crack a can for the colder days
Moulding words for summer jot until I go insane
Evidently I ain’t living life here like ought to do
Addicted to a substance
Sitting suffering and hoarding truth
What’s a lad to do?
The doctor never helped my much
Patterns of escape
I tend to break and generate this sludge
Better days
Better days
What prerogative?
Foraging for solace ever sinking in a bottled ship
Sweet join the brigades and the way they invent
Penning like a weapon medalling
And slay with intent
Breaking ahead
Debating with my self or something
I ain’t certain
Eyeing up the purpose
With the promise of a sight to surf on
Summers coming we been lurking and yes
It’s Brighton city ever shining for the vibes
And we’re blessed


Shit was different back then
Tryna bring it back now
Take it where it went
But I didn’t back down
Got me wondering how
We made it this far
This world is kinda fucked but it’s blatantly ours

Shit was different back then
Tryna bring it back now
Take it where it went
But I didn’t back down
Got me wondering how
We made it this far
This world is kinda fucked but it’s blatantly ours
