Lyrics

Iâ??m thinking back to the way things used to be
With you and me
Back in the day
Iâ??m thinking back

Remember all the days we spent having fun
East 24, and water world (days in the sun)
When all the boys used to like whichever girl
And up on the slide, they ride behind (tryna cop a feel)

Iâ??m thinking back to our first kiss in the pool
Oh what a day, Iâ??m thinking back
Iâ??m thinking back to you riding your bike all the way
To visit me, Chadcombe and back

Iâ??m thinking back to the way things used to be
With you and me Back in the day
Iâ??m thinking back
Iâ??m thinking back to the days we walked up and down and up
On the hill, Thinking of that


Iâ??m thinking back to the beerfest, every year, in October
At the Club (Arcadia Club)
Iâ??m thinking back to session days, park lane
We were supposed to be at the movies then
Thinking back

Iâ??m thinking back to long club nights
That didnâ??t end Till the sun come up
trying to remember the name of the club
That rocked all night, In Avonlea
Iâ??m thinking back to penny coolers, dandy gum and toffee from the mooreâ??s
At the park (we were growing up)

Iâ??m thinking back to the way things used to be
With you and me
Back in the day
Iâ??m thinking back
Remember love letters we used to get, from our go between
Every day, Back in the day

â?¦.. back to the way things used to be
With you and me
Back in the day
Iâ??m thinking back
Iâ??m thinking back to the way things used to be
With you and me
Back in the day
Iâ??m thinking back
