Things were different when we were young, skinning, dipping, having fun, I remember Back in 1991, when this story first begun, I remember All of these shells, holding the things I've done I knew myself before I knew anyone And cause we all chewed gum, we all had fun, water guns Then we all grew up, * got tough, * just wasn't simple enough Oh, oh, oh And whenever the sun came up, we'd play We didn't wanna get older, we didn't wanna get older We would run out of blood all night and day We didn't wanna get older One mistake, saying the way I felt I'd say my main influence is myself Yeah, cause I started young, I learned a ton I didn't run, la-da-da-da-da I was scared as * and out of touch And I was still testing my luck, oh Oh Oh And whenever the sun came up, we'd play We didn't wanna get older, we didn't wanna get older We would run out of blood all night and day We didn't wanna get older Oh, no, we don't care And whenever the sun came up, we'd play We didn't wanna get older, we didn't wanna get older I left myself in the alleyway But things were different, we were young Skinny dipping, having fun, I remember I left myself in the alleyway And it would become everything I ever loved I remember I left myself in the alleyway And it would become everything I ever loved I left myself in the alleyway
