The Wonder Years

Before the war, before the lives

Before my brother left that night, yeah

I was just a kid, I was singing la la la la la la la la

**** was simple just like la la la la la la la la

Yeah, before I grasped that people died

Before I saw my sister cry, yeah

I was just a kid, I was singing la la la la la la la la

**** was simple just like la la la la la la la la

So take me back to the days when I was younger

All this ******** is overrated

Back to the days, pour some shots out with my people

And we gon’ sing like la la la la la la la la

At our local bar like la la la la la la la la

Before the world turned gray and old

Before we both fell out of love

We were just kids, we were singing la la la la la la la la

Love was simple just like la la la la la la la la

Before they put our dreams in jail

Before we lost our fairy tales, oh

We were just kids, we were singing la la la la la la la la

Love was simple just like la la la la la la la

So take me back to the days when I was younger

All this ******** is overrated

Back to the days, pour some shots out with my people

And we gon’ sing like la la la la la la la la

At our local bar like la la la la la la la la

They say my dream is unreal

I’m forgettin' how the sun feels

I’m forgettin' how love heals

And my niece is blowing bubbles in the yard

Economy is down, too

They're lying on the damn news

People murdering for damn shoes

And my niece is blowing bubbles in the yard

Think about it, my niece is blowing bubbles in the yard

My niece is blowing bubbles in the yard

Think about it, niece is blowin' bubbles in the yard, yeah

So take me back to the days when I was younger

All this ******** is overrated

Back to the days, pour some shots out with my people

And we gon’ sing like la la la la la la la la

At our local bar like la la la la la la la la
