Way Back When Songtext
von Oakland Rain

Way back when I didn′t understand what all of it really means
Tried my best to find the hidden purpose underneath
Way back when I didn't understand that I′m wrapped up in an old soul
But my mind is so young, I'm in between
And I'm walking on a lonely road

Way back when all the strobes and the city lights
Were too big and all I saw were the fireflies
Oh, what I would do to get back on that highway
Way back when all the magic was something vague
′Cause I couldn′t even recall my own name
Oh, I was lost 'cause I couldn′t find the sideway
Oh, what I would do to go way back then
Tell my seventeen-year-old self
Darling, you have a long journey ahead

Way back then I met the boy that I'll forever love
But I didn′t dare to say it back then and I regret that for my life
So way back then I met the boy who would come to break my heart
I guess some will love you, some will lose
You and some won't be worth the fight


Way back when all the strobes and the city lights
Were too big and all I saw were the fireflies
Oh, what I would do to get back on that highway
Way back when all the magic was something vague
′Cause I couldn't even recall my own name
Oh, I was lost 'cause I couldn′t find the sideway
Oh, what I would do to go way back then
Tell my seventeen-year-old self
Darling, you have a long journey ahead

(I think it′s getting clearer now)
(I think I found out what it's all about)
(Life is unpredictable)
(Maybe that′s the best part of it all)

Way back when all the strobes and the city lights
Were too big and all I saw were the fireflies
Oh, what I would do to get back on that highway
Way back when all the magic was something vague
'Cause I couldn′t even recall my own name
Oh, I was lost 'cause I couldn′t find the sideway

Way back then I probably wouldn't believe it if I was told
That someday I would be standing here
And I would grow myself this bold
Way back when I put these messy feelings on the shelf
Oh, little did I know that all of this, oh, it's life itself
