the wonder years

before the war

before the lives

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

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 bullshit 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 old

before we both fell out of love

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

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 laa la

they say my dream is unreal

i'm forgettin' how the sun feels

i'm forgettin' how love heals
