"The Wonder Years" Lyrics

Before the war
Before the lies
Before my brother left that night yeah
I was just a kid
I was singing La la la la la la la la
Shit 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
Shit 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 bull shit 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 grey and dull
Before we both fell out of love yeah
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
Oh 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 la

So take me back
to the days
when I was younger
All this bull shit 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 in unreal
I'm forgetting how the sun feels
I'm forgetting 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 blowing bubbles in the yard
yeah

So take me back
to the days
when I was younger
All this bull shit 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
