Way Back When Songtext
von Ward Thomas

Do you remember back when walls were high
And you had to really try to find your way?
Did you feel cut off from your friends back home
Without your mobile phone to pass your time away?
I can′t begin to understand
How you were walking hand in hand
With people who shaped this world
If I can just be half the girl I see
When I look at you, so

Tell me about all the things you did
When your jeans were flared and your hair was big
Screens were grey
What's it like to play my role back then?
I was taught to never look back
′Cause everyone knows that the world ain't flat
So sit me down and turn me around
To way back when, yeah


Seeing you now I question how we've changed
Our generation game′s not one I′ve played
From big to small, I know you've seen it all
And now I live my life by the things you gave
You felt like you were in a safer place
Didn′t have to hide your face
Just to fit within the rules
And the world's all yours, so

Tell me about all the things you did
When your jeans were flared and your hair was big
Screens were grey
What′s it like to play my role back then?
I was taught to never look back
'Cause everyone knows that the world ain′t flat
So sit me down and turn me around
To way back when, yeah

We've got to keep it all alive
And help your history survive
Respect the people who were here before us
Now tell me what you think about this
Can you see all the things that we've missed?
So we′ll begin to write some stories of our own


Tell me about all the things you did
When your jeans were flared and your hair was big
Screens were grey
What′s it like to play my role back then?
I was taught to never look back
'Cause everyone knows that the world ain′t flat
So sit me down and turn me around
To way back when
Tell me about all the things you did
When your jeans were flared and your hair was big
Screens were grey
What's it like to play my role back then?
I was taught to never look back
′Cause everyone knows that the world ain't flat
So sit me down and turn me around
To way back when, yeah
