[Intro]
Yeah
Rewind it
Back then
[Verse 1]
Bike chain rattlin’ down the cul-de-sac
Grass stains, Game Boy in a fanny pack
Cartoons loud, cereal for dinner
Didn’t know you could lose just by gettin’ bigger
No bills in the mailbox, only birthday cards
Only time I knew “broken” was a handlebar
Sleepover on a Friday, sugar in my teeth
Big dreams fit inside a Walkman sleeve
[Chorus]
I was livin’ easy, 90s on repeat
Whole world small, all on my street
Simple little heaven I could hold in my hands
Now it’s inbox, deadlines, sinking in the sand
I was livin’ easy, tame little sky
Didn’t have a word yet for “want to cry”
Now it’s blue light, jaw tight, scrolling through the night
Tryna find that kid I left behind
[Verse 2]
Used to count clouds, now I count receipts
Used to chase friends, now I chase sleep
Mama in the kitchen hummin’ out of key
Now it’s quiet ‘cause the rent eats melodies
Backpacks, trapper keepers, notes I’d pass
Now it’s passwords, locked doors, panic in my chest
We thought monsters hid under the bedframe
Now they sit in my chest and they know my name
[Chorus]
I was livin’ easy, 90s on repeat
Whole world small, all on my street
Simple little heaven I could hold in my hands
Now it’s inbox, deadlines, sinking in the sand
I was livin’ easy, tame little sky
Didn’t have a word yet for “want to cry”
Now it’s blue light, jaw tight, scrolling through the night
Tryna find that kid I left behind
[Bridge]
If I could trade this suit for a starter jacket (yeah)
Trade this coffee breath for stained lips, magic
I’d take the scraped knees
Over these quiet screams (oh)
[Chorus]
I was livin’ easy, 90s on repeat
Whole world small, all on my street
Simple little heaven I could hold in my hands
Now it’s inbox, deadlines, sinking in the sand
I was livin’ easy, tame little sky
Didn’t have a word yet for “want to cry”
Now it’s blue light, jaw tight, scrolling through the night
Whisper to that kid I left behind (I’m tryin’)
“I’m still here, I’m still tryin’ to find
A little piece of that simple mind”
