Ice Cream
d.j. got the juice Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Cotton candy ice cream days, man
I wish we could go back to that phase
Cotton candy ice cream days
The only right choice at that age
You sit in your room all day long
I'm just over here singing my songs
I see you a couple times a day
But I just wish we could go back to those days
When all we'd do is play
And fight about the stupid stuff
Pretending that we were tough
Man what happened to us
Cotton candy ice cream days, man
I wish we could go back to that phase
Cotton candy ice cream days
The only right choice at that age
I used to get mad when you would eat all of my food
But at this point, I just expect that from you
You could just order the same thing, times two
And we could skip the arguments and that would be cool
But I'm the older sister
And I'm always right
You can't even fight
And nothing can change my mind
Oh the simpler times
Where did the years go
I mean we're still so young
But oh, how we've grown
Remember when we only had to make decisions about what ice cream flavor we wanted
But even that wasn't a real decision
Because we always knew it'd be pink and the blue
We used to try other things just for fun
Although we always stuck to the one we loved
Cotton candy ice cream days, man
I wish we could go back to that phase




Cotton candy ice cream days
The only right choice at that age

As I look back on our lives, I can't help but wonder what went wrong, and how we ended up so far apart.


I used to get mad when you would eat all of my food

Nowadays, I have come to expect your food-theft tendencies, and have learned to let them slide with an exasperated smile.


You could just order the same thing, times two
To avoid further arguments, I suggest that we simply order two of the same dish, saving ourselves a lot of stress and heartache.

If we both just agreed to let things go, we could avoid a lot of pointless arguments and live in peace and harmony.


But I'm the older sister
Despite any arguments we may have, I remind you that I am still the elder sibling, and therefore have ultimate authority in family matters.


And I'm always right
As the eldest sibling, I naturally possess superior wisdom and judgement, and am therefore always in the right.


You can't even fight
You know that I am in the right, and so you wisely refrain from challenging my superior judgement.


And nothing can change my mind
My wisdom and judgement are absolute, and there is no amount of argument or cajoling that could sway me from my position.


Oh the simpler times
How I long for those simpler, more carefree days gone by, when our only worries were which ice cream flavor to choose.

Though we may still be young, we have grown and matured in ways both positive and negative, and have become different people from the children we once were.


Remember when we only had to make decisions about what ice cream flavor we wanted
In those halcyon childhood days, all we had to worry about was which delicious ice cream flavor we would indulge in.


But even that wasn't a real decision
While we may have thought we were making a decision, the truth is that we always knew which flavor we wanted deep down in our hearts.


Because we always knew it'd be pink and the blue
Our hearts and stomachs were drawn to the two flavors we loved most deeply - pink and blue cotton candy ice cream.


We used to try other things just for fun
While we were fiercely loyal to our favorite flavors, we would sometimes branch out and try other ice cream varieties, just for the thrill of something new.


Although we always stuck to the one we loved
In the end, we would always return to our beloved pink and blue cotton candy ice cream, the undisputed champions of our hearts.


Cotton candy ice cream days, man
Those were truly magical days, filled with sunshine, laughter, and (of course) the sweetest ice cream around.


I wish we could go back to that phase
If only we could turn back time, and experience the joy and simplicity of those cotton candy ice cream days once more.


Cotton candy ice cream days
Those halcyon days of pure childhood joy, where cotton candy and ice cream were king, and everything else melted away.


The only right choice at that age
In those simpler times, the only choice we had to make was which flavor of ice cream to indulge in - and for us, there was only one right choice: cotton candy.
