Too Young
Innocence Echoes: Tim Oliver's 'Too Young' Nostalgia
Lyrics
It was little league on Friday nights
Recalling childhood memories of playing little league on Friday nights.
Fireflies danced in the night sky
Describing a nostalgic scene with fireflies illuminating the night sky.
We were the ones that ran this little town
Feeling a sense of ownership and camaraderie in the small town.
It was bathing suites and slip n slides
Reminiscing about summer activities like wearing bathing suits and enjoying slip n slides.
It was blockbuster on Saturday night
Recalling the tradition of going to Blockbuster for movies on Saturday nights.
It was sleepin' in at Grandma's house
Remembering the comfort of sleeping at Grandma's house.
The smiles always seemed to fill our face
Reflecting on the happiness reflected in smiles during those times.
We never wanted to leave that place
Expressing reluctance to leave the cherished place from childhood.
We were too young to even ask why
Acknowledging a lack of curiosity or questioning due to youth.
We were too young to ever say die
Emphasizing the carefree attitude and resilience of youth.
We were too young to worry bout life
Stating the obliviousness to life's complexities during childhood.
Looking back I can clearly see
Reflecting on the understanding gained with maturity about the significance of those times.
That's what it really meant to live free
Defining living freely as the essence of youth.
We were too young not to live our lives
Reiterating the importance of living without constraints in youth.
We were too young
Affirming the age when these experiences occurred.
We were too young
Repeating the acknowledgment of being too young during those times.
It was kickball in my backyard
Describing childhood games and activities like kickball.
It was hide and seek till it got dark
Recalling the innocence of playing hide and seek until dark.
The street lights meant to get our britches home
Highlighting the curfew indicated by street lights.
It was camp fires and fishing poles
Remembering outdoor activities like campfires and fishing.
It was BB guns and swimming holes
Listing playful experiences involving BB guns and swimming holes.
I swear those summer days never got old
Expressing the timeless joy of summer days during childhood.
The smiles always seemed to fill our face
Reiterating the theme of joy reflected in smiles during those times.
We never wanted to leave that place
Reaffirming the reluctance to leave the cherished place from childhood.
We were too young to even ask why
Repeating the lack of curiosity or questioning due to youth.
We were too young to ever say die
Reiterating the carefree attitude and resilience of youth.
We were too young to worry bout life
Stating the obliviousness to life's complexities during childhood.
Looking back I can clearly see
Reflecting on the understanding gained with maturity about the significance of those times.
That's what it really meant to live free
Defining living freely as the essence of youth.
We were too young not to live our lives
Reiterating the importance of living without constraints in youth.
Looking back it seemed so long ago
Looking back at childhood and acknowledging the perception of time.
But these memories stay with me
Acknowledging the enduring nature of memories from childhood.
And there's one thing that I know
Expressing a realization or certainty about a particular aspect of life.
That I'm too young to even ask why
Reiterating the lack of curiosity or questioning due to youth.
Yeah I'm too young to ever say die
Emphasizing the carefree attitude and resilience of youth.
Yes I'm too young to worry bout life
Stating the obliviousness to life's complexities during childhood.
I've gotten older but I can see
Acknowledging the passage of time and the coexistence of the inner child.
That little kid still lives within me
Acknowledging the enduring presence of the inner child despite aging.
Yes I'm too young not to live my life
Reiterating the importance of living without constraints in youth.
Yeah I'm too young
Affirming the age when these experiences occurred.
Yeah I'm too young
Repeating the acknowledgment of being too young during those times.
