Tekst piosenki
[Intro sample]
And now, for my next number, I’d like to return to the classics
[Verse 1]
Growing up, I had a dream in my mind
Then it came true, now it got me losing my mind
I don’t wanna seem ungrateful so I keep it inside
Got me reminiscing, thinking of a simpler time
Like me and Lopez used to skate down the block
Passing time, spitting rhymes at the old parking lot
I can’t even drive past all the spots that I love
'Cause they’re nothing even close to anything like it was
But when I see a group of kids in the spot
I wanna shake ’em, wanna tell ’em they don’t know what they got
Wish that I could travel back and try to tell me to stop
'Cause I had everything, I never needed a lot
[Pre-Chorus]
It’s like I woke up one day and suddenly I grew up
I can’t remember when it happened, it was all too abrupt
Driving ’round my old town, it’s pathetic, I know
The only time that I was happy and I can’t let it go
[Chorus]
Was it all really better then?
Or am I just getting in my head?
And I just wanna go back
I wish that I could just go back
Was it all really better then?
Or am I just getting in my head?
And I just wanna go back
I wish that I could just go back
[Verse 2]
I would never trade a friend for the fame
But I been on the road touring and it isn’t the same
Losing touch with all the ones that I love
How many calls I gotta miss ’til they stop giving a fuck?
Been feeling down, so I hit up my mom
She told me everything will pass so put it all in a song
I know my family can see I got a lot on my plate
Seems like every time I’m home it’s only just for the day
So I been putting all my thoughts in this verse
And I don’t know that if it’s helping or it’s making it worse
I just know its been a while since I felt like I’m fine
I’ve been trying to learn to live my life one day at a time
[Pre-Chorus]
It’s like I woke up one day and suddenly I grew up
I can’t remember when it happened, it was all too abrupt
Driving ’round my old town, it’s pathetic, I know
The only time that I was happy and I can’t let it go
[Chorus]
Was it all really better then?
Or am I just getting in my head?
And I just wanna go back
I wish that I could just go back
Was it all really better then?
Or am I just getting in my head?
And I just wanna go back
I wish that I could just go back
[Outro]
Go back
Tłumaczenie piosenki
Analiza piosenki
Świadoma obecność w danym momencie może być trudna. Zwykle przypominamy sobie o naszej przeszłości i o tym, co przyniesie przyszłość, a to może przyćmić to, co jest przed nami. „Lepiej” to proste pytanie z zewnątrz. Czy moje życie było lepsze wcześniej?
Odpowiedź pośrednia: bądź sobą i znajdź to, co sprawia, że jesteś szczęśliwy w życiu. Bez względu na to, jak małe i nieistotne może to być – warto to zrobić, jeśli sprawia, że jesteś szczęśliwy. Jazda na łyżwach z przyjaciółmi, tworzenie muzyki w piwnicy rodziców, znajdowanie miłości, zakładanie rodziny – to naprawdę nie ma znaczenia.
Znajdź, co to jest i zrób to. Szczęście jest wszystkim. Wszystko inne ma charakter pomocniczy. Jako dzieciak zawsze chciał tworzyć muzykę. Ale teraz, kiedy to robi, zdaje sobie sprawę, że to nie jest tak wspaniałe, jak myślał.
