Alleyways — The Neighbourhood

Verse 1:

If things were different, we were young

Skinny dipping, having fun, I remember

Back in 1991, when the story first begun, I remember (I remember)

All of these shells, holding the things I've done

I knew myself before I knew anyone

Pre-chorus:

And cause we all chew gum, we all have fun with water guns

La da da da da da, da da dum dum dum

And we all grew up, sh** got tough

Sh** just wasn't simple enough

Ahh Oh

Chorus:

And whenever the sun came out, we played

(We didn't want to get older, we didn't want to get older)

We would run on the block all night and day

(We didn't want to get older)

Verse 2:

What a mistake, saying the way I felt

I say my name influences myself

Pre-chorus:

And cause I started young, I learned it done, I didn't run

La da da da da da

I was scared as f*** and out of touch,

and I was still testing my luck, oh

Chorus:

And whenever the sun came out, we played

(We didn't want to get older, we didn't want to get older)

We would run on the block all night and day

(We didn't want to get older, we didn't want to get older)

And whenever the sun came out, we played

(We didn't want to get older, we didn't want to get older)

I left myself in the alleyway

Verse 3/ Outro:

If things were different, we were young

Skinny dipping, having fun, I remember

(I left myself in the alleyway)

All I wanted would become everything I ever loved, I remember

(I left myself in the alleyway)
