Since '85
Timeless Bonds: Nostalgia Since '85
Lyrics
We go way back you and me
We have a long history together.
Ever since elementary
Our relationship began in elementary school.
Public pool with our shirts on
Recalling a specific memory of being at a public pool, possibly being carefree and innocent.
Fighting with our squirt guns
Engaging in playful fights using squirt guns, reflecting a carefree and fun-filled childhood.
Never say die since 85
Commitment to resilience and perseverance since 1985, suggesting a resilient attitude from an early age.
A couple losers you and I
Both individuals experienced difficulties or setbacks in their families.
Your folks had problems and so did mine
Parallel challenging family situations.
We lit a fire in the alley
Metaphorical creation of excitement or rebellion, burning homework symbolizes defiance or release.
With our homework after graduation
Symbolizing liberation after completing education.
Have you ever felt so free?
Reflecting on the freedom experienced during that period.
Remember you're a little child
Reminder of the other person's younger, innocent self.
You stuck it out a while
Acknowledgment of enduring through challenges.
Twenty or so years go by
Highlighting the significant passage of time.
I don't even know this guy
Feeling disconnected from the person due to life changes.
You can fake it all you like
Suggesting that pretending to be mature doesn't erase one's inner child.
But you're still a kid inside
Emphasizing the persistence of youthful elements within.
It's such and act acting serious
Expressing dissatisfaction with the pretense of being serious.
And I'm so bored I'm delirious
Feeling extremely bored to the point of delirium.
I just want to cruise the lake
Longing for carefree times spent cruising the lake.
Like we used to and get baked in my car
Nostalgia for past moments, possibly involving recreational drug use.
Bring some CDs and a Black and Mild
Bringing along items reminiscent of carefree times.
Remember you're a little child
Reminder of the other person's younger, innocent self (repeated).
You stuck it out a while
Recognition of enduring through challenges (repeated).
Twenty or so years go by
Highlighting the significant passage of time (repeated).
I don't even know this guy
Feeling disconnected from the person due to life changes (repeated).
You can fake it all you like
Suggesting that pretending to be mature doesn't erase one's inner child (repeated).
But you're still a kid inside
Emphasizing the persistence of youthful elements within (repeated).
Sorry I've been so out of touch
Apologizing for lack of contact unless in problematic situations.
I only see you when we're fucked up
Noticing the rare occasions of meeting only when dealing with issues.
Sorry I never sent a note back
Expressing regret for not responding due to feeling vulnerable.
I'm insecure, I felt attacked
Feeling insecure and defensive, possibly due to perceived criticism.
Faking our way through this grownup shit
Struggling to navigate adulthood convincingly.
Remember you're a little child
Reminder of the other person's younger, innocent self (repeated).
You stuck it out a while
Recognition of enduring through challenges (repeated).
Twenty or so years go by
Highlighting the significant passage of time (repeated).
I don't even know this guy
Feeling disconnected from the person due to life changes (repeated).
You can fake it all you like
Suggesting that pretending to be mature doesn't erase one's inner child (repeated).
But you're still a kid inside
Emphasizing the persistence of youthful elements within (repeated).
