Back In The Day
GoodLuck De Hofnar Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Back in the day
We used to run
Hands up, hands up
No complications
No second thoughts
Just hands up, hands up

I wouldn't walk away if they asked me to
I'll live another day just to spend with you
I loved you like the sound of the ocean
The rhythm, the emotion
I loved you like the sound of the ocean
The rhythm, the emotion
I loved you like the sound of the ocean
The rhythm, the emotion
Rhythm

Rhythm
Rhythm
Rhythm, the emotion

Back in the day
We used to run
Hands up, hands up
Straight for the sun
No complications
No second thoughts
Just hands up, hands up

I wouldn't walk away if they asked me to
I'll live another day just to spend with you
I loved you like the sound of the ocean
I loved you like the sound of the ocean

Those were the days
We used to run
Hands up, hands up
Straight for the sun
Just conversation
No second thoughts
Our hands up, hands up

I wouldn't walk away if they asked me to
I'll live another day just to spend with you
I loved you like

I loved you like the sound of the ocean
The rhythm, the emotion
I loved you like the sound of the ocean
The rhythm, the emotion
Rhythm

The hands-up gesture is repeated throughout the song, perhaps symbolizing the freedom and surrender that comes with youth. The singer seems to be addressing a former lover, reminiscing about their time together and comparing their love to the sound of the ocean. The ocean is often associated with fierce emotions, which may reflect the intensity of the singer's feelings for their past partner.


Overall, the song captures the yearning for a time long gone and the bittersweet nostalgia that comes with it. The repetition of the phrase "hands up, hands up" throughout the song serves as both a reminder of the carefree days of youth and a call to surrender oneself to the present moment.
