Way Back
Timeless Love: Nostalgic Reflections on Youth and Rekindled Connections
Lyrics
That Pennsylvania fake ID worked at one store and
Using a fake ID from Pennsylvania successfully worked at one store.
They learned your made up name and then stopped asking for it
People learned the fabricated name associated with the fake ID, and they stopped asking for it.
Mmm, we’d drive around till midnight kissin
Driving around until midnight, engaging in kissing.
Mmm, drop you off with a buzz still hittin
Dropping off the person with a lingering buzz.
We go way back to seventeen
Reflecting on a deep connection that goes back to the age of seventeen.
Throwback skipping through a cd seats leaned way back
Recalling the past, reminiscent of times when CDs were prevalent, with seats leaned way back.
Thinking we had one more week of you and me
Thinking that there was still one more week of togetherness.
We were supposed to outgrow each other
Expecting to outgrow each other, as relationships are anticipated to evolve.
Like a song burns out each summer
Comparing the expected separation to a song burning out each summer.
Yeah we know those clocks roll forward but
Acknowledging the forward movement of clocks, symbolizing the passage of time.
Somehow we always find our way back
Despite changes, there is a consistent return to each other.
We always find our way back
Emphasizing the enduring nature of finding their way back to each other.
We fell in love as much as you can when you’re kids
Falling in love during youth, recognizing the limitations of such love.
But you moved away for school like everybody did
Despite love, the partner moved away for education, a common occurrence.
Mmm, you’d always end up showing up baby
The partner consistently reappeared, wearing a specific Wildcats shirt.
In that wildcats shirt I know you never stopped wearing
Recalling the connection to a specific item of clothing that remained unchanged.
We go way back to seventeen
Continuing to emphasize the deep connection going back to the age of seventeen.
Throwback skipping through a cd seats leaned way back
Revisiting past memories of skipping through CDs with seats leaned back.
Thinking we had one more week of you and me
Believing there was still one more week of shared experiences.
We were supposed to outgrow each other
Reiterating the expectation of outgrowing each other.
Like a song burns out each summer
Comparing the anticipated separation to the natural conclusion of a song each summer.
Yeah we know those clocks roll forward but
Acknowledging the forward movement of clocks and the inevitability of change.
Somehow we always find our way back
Despite time passing, there is a consistent return to each other.
We always find our way back
Reiterating the enduring nature of finding their way back to each other.
Yeah life’s changed since I met ya
Reflecting on how life has changed since meeting, but there is a resilience in returning to each other.
But we grew up and grew back together
Highlighting the growth and reunion experienced together.
Yeah I always say
Expressing a recurring hope for looking back to the age of seventeen.
I hope that one day we’ll be looking
Anticipating a future where they reminisce about the past.
Way back to seventeen
Revisiting the idea of looking back to the age of seventeen.
Throwback skipping through a cd seats leaned way back
Recalling past moments, skipping through CDs with seats leaned way back.
Thinking we had one more week of you and me
Believing there was still one more week of shared experiences.
We were supposed to outgrow each other
Reiterating the expectation of outgrowing each other.
Like a song burns out each summer
Comparing the anticipated separation to the natural conclusion of a song each summer.
We know those clocks roll forward but
Acknowledging the forward movement of clocks and the inevitability of change.
Somehow we always find our way back
Despite time passing, there is a consistent return to each other.
We always find our way back
Reiterating the enduring nature of finding their way back to each other.
We always find our way back
Emphasizing the consistent pattern of finding their way back to each other.
We always find our way back
Concluding with the repeated theme of always finding their way back to each other.
