I liked the simple days

I enjoyed the uncomplicated times.

Back when I was younger

Referring to a period in the past when the speaker was younger.

Playing with my gameboy

Recalling playing with a Gameboy, a handheld gaming device.

Everything was paid for

I used to be afraid of stupid little thunder

I was always unsure

Who told me getting old was cool

They were wrong

Cause everything I thought I knew

Was all a lie

Everything the speaker thought they knew turns out to be false.

Throwback to better days

When I wasn’t grown

Yearning for the time when the speaker wasn't burdened with adult responsibilities.

So I keep wishing

I could travel back in time

We never counted days

Not keeping track of time in the past.

See how fast it slipped away

Regretting the swift passage of time.

Oh no

No more
