Lyrics
[Intro – soft ambience, kids laughing, cicadas]
Yeah…
Back when life was simple…
Didn’t know we had it all…
[Verse 1 – melodic]
Screen door slam and the summer air
Dust on our shoes, didn’t have a care
Bikes in the yard, streetlights glow
Mama yelling, “Be home before it snows”
Fireflies lighting up the dark
Talking dreams laying in the park
Said we’d leave, gonna chase that road
Didn’t know we were rich back home
[Pre-Chorus]
Caps in the sky, we were bulletproof
Whole world small but it felt like truth
Funny how time just slipped right through…
⸻
[Chorus – big and anthemic]
Back when the days were slooow
Radio loud, nowhere to go
We were young, we were gold
Didn’t know what we didn’t know
Now it’s work, work, chasing dough
Hearts get hard, nights get cold
Take me back, don’t let go —
Back, back to the days… slow
⸻
[Post-Chorus – Option 3 bounce hook / rhythmic]
Back then, no stress, no clock
Front porch lights and the corner shop
Now it’s bills, deadlines, go-go-go
Man I miss when the days moved slow
Slow… slow…
Let it breathe, let it roll
Slow… slow…
Bring me back to my soul
⸻
[Verse 2 – rap flow]
First job, first tie, bus ride late
Microwave meals on a paper plate
Dreams turned numbers on a screen
Somewhere lost what “living” means
Group chats dead, everybody tired
Same old talk: “man, I’m just wired”
Stack that cash, climb that high
But every win just passed us by
Funny how the money came quick
But the smiles got thin and the patience sick
City lights don’t shine like home
Crowded streets but I feel alone
[Pre-Chorus]
This ain’t what we thought we’d be
Somewhere lost that kid in me
Tell me where’d that freedom go…
⸻
[Chorus – bigger, layered vocals]
Back when the days were slooow
Radio loud, nowhere to go
We were young, we were gold
Didn’t know what we didn’t know
Now it’s work, work, chasing dough
Hearts get hard, nights get cold
Take me back, don’t let go —
Back, back to the days… slow
⸻
[Post-Chorus – repeat bounce hook]
Back then, no stress, no clock
Front porch lights and the corner shop
Now it’s bills, deadlines, go-go-go
Man I miss when the days moved slow
Slow… slow…
Let it breathe, let it roll
Slow… slow…
Bring me back to my soul
⸻
[Bridge – stripped, emotional]
If I could drive down that old dirt road
Windows down, nowhere to go
I’d trade this grind, this heavy load
For one more night we never grow old
⸻
[Final Chorus – full band, stacked harmonies]
Back when the days were slooow…
We were kings and we didn’t know…
[Final Post-Chorus – crowd chant fade out]
Slow… slow…
Let it breathe, let it roll…
Slow… slow…
Bring me back to my soul…
