Alleyways (Slowed Down)

[Intro]

If things were different, we were young

Skinny dipping, having fun, I remember

Back in 1991, when the story first begun, I remember (I remember)

[Verse 1]

All of these shelves, holding the things I've done

I knew myself before I knew anyone (I did, I did)

And 'cause we all chew gum, we all have fun with water guns

La-da-da-da-da-da, da-da-dum-dum-dum

Then we all grew up, shit got tough, shit just wasn't simple enough, no

[Chorus]

And whenever the sun came out, we played

(We didn't want to get older, we didn't want to get older)

We would run on the block all night and day

(We didn't want to get older)

[Verse 2]

What a mistake saying the way I felt

I'd say my main influence is myself

And 'cause I started young, I learned a ton, I didn't run

La-da-da-da-da-da-da

I was scared as fuck and out of touch, and I was still testing my luck, oh

[Chorus]

And whenever the sun came out, we played

(We didn't want to get older, we didn't want to get older)

We would run on the block all night and day

(We didn't want to get older, we didn't want to get older)

And whenever the sun came out, we played

(We didn't want to get older, we didn't want to get older)

I left myself in the alleyway

[Outro]

If things were different, we were young

Skinny dipping, having fun, I remember

(I left myself in the alleyway)

All I wanted would become everything I ever loved, I remember

(I left myself in the alleyway)
