Wayyyyy Back
Social Club Misfits Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Uh, yeah
My era was so beautiful
Home to the championship Mets and the Rubik's Cube
Voltron figures with the lion fists shooting out
Punch-buggy punch to your arm, we was bugging out
Life so simple, ThunderCats on my TV set
Wanna bet chilling at your cousins was your favorite thing
Let's take a walk down memory lane
And everybody that we lost, you will forever remain
Ay, uh
I'm seeing my life like it's Wonder Years
I was so fresh, savage, it's been a couple years
A different world, who's the boss cheers the memories
I know a lotta y'all feel the same, this was meant to be
Sing along to the song, God loves yo
Can't forget the Nick at Night reruns, all love boat
Feelings pulling on my heart strings like a tugboat
Let me fall back, wish I could have it all back

Yeah, everybody
I remember days when we used to play back when
Everything was simple, I just wanna go back and
I know the times have changed, but I wish that they all would just stay the same
Woa-oa-oa-oah
I remember days when we used to play back when
Everything was simple, I just wanna go back
And I know the times have changed, but I wish that they all would just stay the same
Woa-oa-oa-oah

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Remember when we used to play with G.I. Joes
I pushed Devin on the floor, then he broke my nose
We talk about the times like the better days
But if I had a choice to leave, I think I'd probably rather stay
I, probably, never thought that life would be this way
But I love it, listen to John Mayer stop this train
I cried in public, I'm not the same man I used to be
You probably knew that, I shaved my eyebrows in 9th grade
I got the group back, who that?
Me that, the same loser kid from the high school
Me and Gabe would sneak out
I never really liked school
The same kids you picked on became millionaires
I don't know, what the heck I'm doing here
But it's crazy how we ended up, pretended how we had
Girlfriends from different schools that we never got, it's
It's crazy, the things we got away with
See me walking through with the Versace blue jeans fragrance

Yeah, everybody
I remember days when we used to play back when
Everything was simple, I just wanna go back and
I know the times have changed, but I wish that they all would just stay the same
Woa-oa-oa-oah
I remember days when we used to play back when
Everything was simple, I just wanna go back




And I know the times have changed, but I wish that they all would just stay the same
Woa-oa-oa-oah
