Way Back When - Ward Thomas

Do you remember back when walls were high

And you had to really try to find a 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 could 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

The screens were grey, what’s it like to play, my role back then?

I was told 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

Yea-eaa-ahhhh

Seeing you now, I question how we’ve changed

Our generation games not one I played

From big to small, I know you’ve seen it all

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 worlds all yours

So tell me about all the things you did

When your jeans were flared, and your hair was big

The screens were grey, what’s it like to play, my role back then?

I was told 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

Yea-eaa-ahhhh

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

The screens were grey, what’s it like to play, my role back then?

I was told 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 told 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

Dabadaba-dohh-ehhh-eehh-ohh-oohh-yea-aah
