WAY BACK
Niko Moon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Goin' muddin' with the windows down
Drinkin' liquor out your old man's stash
Man, we caught hell for that
Played ball together, got high together
Everything, man, we even found God together
Through it all, yeah, we're still the same
Yeah, we go way back, way back
Every time, man, it's just like that
Way back, way back
Raise 'em up for the times we've had
Them wild nights, few bar fights
Yeah, we even seen our fair share of blue lights
Way back, way back
Every time, man, it's just like that, way back
Remember when we worked the graveyard shift?
Making just enough to pay the rent
And Friday nights with our fake IDs
Sneaking in, you and me
We go way back (woo), way back (way back)
Every time, man, it's just like that
Way back, way back
Raise 'em up for the times we've had (raise 'em up, yeah)
Them wild nights, few bar fights
Yeah, we even seen our fair share of blue lights
Way back, way back (way back)
Every time, man, it's just like that
Played ball together, got high together
Everything, man, we even found God together
Through it all, yeah, we're still the same
Ain't nothin' changed
Yeah, we go way back, way back
Every time, man, it's just like that
Way back, way back (way back, way back)
Raise 'em up for the times we've had
Them wild nights, few bar fights
Yeah, we even seen our fair share of blue lights
Way back, way back
Every time, man, it's just like that
Nah-nah-nah, nah-nah-nah
Every time, man, it's just like that (oh)
Nah-nah-nah, nah-nah-nah (just like that)
Every time, man, it's just like that
Way back
Niko Moon's song "Way Back" is a nostalgic track that takes the listener on a journey through the fond memories of the good old times shared between close friends. The song begins with the singer recalling painting the town with his friends, going muddin' with the windows down, and drinking liquor from his friend's old man's stash. These careless and spontaneous actions led them to catch hell, but it is clear that they had the time of their life.
The singer then recounts how they did everything together, played ball, got high together, and even found God together. Despite everything they went through, they have remained the same, and their bond has not changed, as they still go back in time and reminisce about the wild nights, bar fights, and police encounters. The song ends with the singer proclaiming their friendship is as strong now as it was way back when.
The song's message is straightforward but incredibly heartfelt, capturing the essence of deep and long-lasting friendships. It speaks to the beauty of shared experiences and memories that keep friendships strong forever. It reminds listeners that no matter where life takes them, the memories and bonds created with friends will always remain.

We would sneak into your dad's liquor cabinet and drink his alcohol

Sneaking in, you and me
We would sneak into places together
Nah-nah-nah, nah-nah-nah
