Time Machine
Stupid Kids Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And if you had a chance too I bet that you would say that
Back to the playground, manhunt, we would play that
When we found a girl, what we would do, how could I say that
But yeah, saturdays was the best shit
Waking up to cartoons was best, man, damn
But now we grown, it ain′t the same no mo'
I wish life, it didn′t change, no mo'
And look at the drama that this money brought (brought)
Between you and I, wish I had a time machine
But I don′t, until then homie, I could dream
Can we go back?
Just kids wearing sandals
We were rolling to the playtime
Can we go back?
Secure in the nightsky, ever dreaming in line
We were young, we were young, we were young
But we never get older (but we never get older)
Can we go back?
I wish I had the means to build a time machine
Wish I could take it all the way back
And if you had a chance too I bet that you would say that
Back to the playground, days, where we would play at
Recess never we stressed I had the grey bat
When we would play softball, chillin′ in the field
Sitting reminiscing, homie tell me how it feel
In gym class, man, I would zip past
Kinda was big deal, even in my swim class
Kid fast
Now its just drama and the money talk (talk)
And look at the drama that this money brought (brought)
Between you and I, wish I had a time machine
But I don't, until then, then, then
Can we go back?
Just kids wearing sandals
We were rolling to the playtime
Can we go back?
Secure in the nightsky, ever dreaming in line
We were young, we were young, we were young
But we never get older (but we never get older)
Can we go back?
I wish I had the means to build a time machine
Why can′t we all go back
Why can't we all go back
Why can′t we all go back to them days, to them days
Why can't we all go back
Why can′t we all go back
Why can't we all go back to them days
Can we go back?
Just kids wearing sandals
We were rolling to the playtime
Can we go back?
Secure in the nightsky, ever dreaming in line
We were young, we were young, we were young
But we never get older (but we never get older)
Can we go back?
I wish I had the means to build a time machine
