ATLUS - When I Was Young Lyrics

Please take me back when I was a youngin'
Those days where did they go
Looking back all I see is the sunshine
Nowadays it just feels like snow
Please take me back when I was a stranger
To anxiety, depression, anger
Easy for me to let things go
Nowadays I'm just chasing goals
I was 18 and a beat up car yeah
Just got my driver's license
Out late sneaking into bars yeah
All night yeah we were vibing
With a group of Outcasts that I called friends
Listening to Paramore misery business
Back then never questioned my life decisions
Now stress is all I know
If I was younger
If I could change the hands of time
To a place where my life felt like it was mine
Please take me back when I was a youngin'
Before the songs and fame
Nowadays they just want something from me
When they don't know my first name
Please take me back then
Back to the back when
Sidewalks were all we knew
And we rode 'til the streetlights came on
Then raced back before curfew
I was 13 in my best friend's basement
Hook up that new 360
Only thing that killed the vibe was
Red Rings and frozen load screens
So much Mountain Dew
Don't think I'll ever go to sleep
Watching 8-mile
Looking up to another
Trailer trash kid
But still loving my mother
Hoping I'll be the next in line
To leave this town
If I was younger
If I could change the hands of time
To a place where my life felt like it was mine
