Back In The Old Days
Ballads Of The Cliché Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Once we ran trough the bushes and it hurt very much
But we didn't cry that time
Though we laughed together how fool we were
It was a rainy February when I got this scar
When we climbed a mango tree to help a little kitten
Then I slipped my feet and then I fell
And my arms got bleed you took me home
We brought it to play in the park
We're chasing one another restless
Until our mom come and shout
"Hey you two little bad boy, it's already dark
Go home or you don't get dinner for tonight"
And here we are sitting together
Telling stories we'll always remember
Even we're now much much older
Hope our friendship will last forever
Back in the old days, a happy time
Back in the old days, it's always fun
Back in the old days, a happy time
Back in the old days, it's always fun
Back in the old days

Back in the old days
In the days of yore
