Kodaline - Way Back When Lyrics






We never had that much to do
So we just lay around in someone’s house
Someday I’ll have it all again
Just like way back when

Back then we’d sleep until the afternoon
Then we’d just get up and go outside
Open a window, let the breeze blow in,
Forget everything

Yeah, those will be the days that I'll be missing
When I'm old and when I'm grey and when I stop working
I hope that I can say
When all my days are done
We were just having fun

Well we’d go drinking in the afternoon
Lie out on the grass and fall asleep
Oh will I ever see that girl again?
The girl from way back when

Yeah, we used to share a cigarette
And throw together everything we had
And then go driving in my parents' car
We never strayed too far

Oh, yeah, those will be the days that I'll be missing
When I'm old and when I'm grey and when I stop working
I hope that I can say
When all my days are done
That I had my fun

Those will be the days that I had my fun

Yeah time can move so fast
Some things aren't made to last
So here's to you, my dear old friend
From way back when

Yeah, those will be the days that I'll be missing
When I'm old and when I'm grey and when I stop working
I hope that I can say
When all my days are done
That I had my fun

    I have a fear of public speaking, I'm going into grade 9 and all I'm worried about is all the presentations I'm gonna have to do. And not about the long lasting friendships I'm supposed to be making. This song is really helping me get through it. I can do this. I know I can. All I need to do is make sure I have my fun. Hope I have the time of my life.

    If you read this, tysm...
    and pray for me y'all❤️

    We never had that much to do
    So we just lay around in someone’s house

    Back then we’d sleep until the afternoon
    Then we’d just get up and go outside
    Open a window, let the breeze blow in
    Forget everything

    [Chorus]
    Yeah, those will be the days that I'll be missing
    When I'm old and when I'm grey and when I stop working
    I hope that I can say
    When all my days are done
    We were just having fun

    Well we’d go drinking in the afternoon
    Lie out on the grass and fall asleep
    Oh will I ever see that girl again?
    The girl from way back when

    Yeah, we used to share a cigarette
    And throw together everything we had
    And then go driving in my parents' car
    We never strayed too far

    Yeah, those will be the days that I'll be missing

    M.... J....

    Matilde J what's that?

  29. �.... ....

    all of their songs just straight to my heart

  30. K.... R....

    I honestly enjoyed the people without faces

  31. T.... I....

    "I wish there was a way to know you're in the good old days before you've actually left them."

  32. A.... R....

    We never had that much to do

    Anybody else think of Bob Ross?

  39. R.... ....

    Everyone on here planning their funerals, and I'm over here planning my birthday weekend

  40. I.... C....

    What genre is this? Because I noticed I really like this kind of songs, ex. Vance joy's, etc

    I.... C....

    same here, I would say it is indie folk-pop/folk-rock

    I.... C....

    Izel Cebrero wikepidia has them as 'rock' but I wouldn't really but them as that idk

    I.... C....

    Izel Cebrero indie

    I.... C....

    this is more like indie Rock, indie pop, and sometimes folk rock

    I.... C....

    Izel Cebrero If you want to look for more music like that, there is also The Lumineers. I highly recommend them.

    What's the song title in the last minute? I hope it is a song 😜

    J.... Z....

    Big Bad World Kidaline😁😁

  68. M.... D....

    Kodaline is so good that I want to tell everybody about them, but at the same time keep their music to myself. Because everytime I share music that I love with others they always take credit for finding it, not that who found it first matters, but it always turn into a silent fight about who has better music taste and who finds good music first. Things like that make me want to keep amazing bands like Kodaline for myself.
    But oh well; such brilliant music should not be hidden. :)

    M.... D....

    Marie Daadyr I can agree to this

    M.... D....

    Marie Daadyr you are absolutely right friend. It happens with me too and though it doesn't actually matters but then also there's always an itch. 😐

    M.... D....

    You just spoke a million hearts right there

    M.... D....

    Hey everybody you should hear this guy called Kodaline!

  70. R.... t....

    Personally I preferred the painting with just negative spaces for the people

  71. N.... A....

    Omg just discovered them as I was looking for the song title, first clicked on it thought it was the song i was looking for. It wasn't. Stopped to listen to it and I'm glad i did :) Fell in love with the song and the concept of the video.

  72. B.... B....

    love this :)

  73. B.... L....

    Can anyone tell me what the song at the end was?

  82. T.... ....

    I'm sorry, but this painter needs to stop painting people. His scenery is great, but he can't draw humans worth a shit.

    T.... ....

    I think his paintings were great so you shouldn't say that

    T.... ....

    @abbey roberson Well, I guess if you of all people thinks they're great, they must be great to everyone, huh?

  83. s.... ....

    this song needs to be in catfish season 4

  84. G.... N....

    Are they Irish?

  85. e.... ....

    i just adore this song! 

  86. p.... ....

    You can HEAR the intensity, frisson, and quivering in his voice, as he remembers his life. This is why i love Kodaline. 

    p.... ....

    I know, right? And the pause before the last 'that I had my fun', with the little breath like he's fighting back tears gets me every time, I swear.

  87. N.... R....

    My favorite song !!!

  88. V.... M....

    si, esos serán días que extrañare U.u

  89. A.... C....

    Yeah, in time we moved so fast, some things are made to last
    I’m here to see you, my dear old friend

    F.... ....

    And here I am thinking I was the only one ...

    F.... ....

  95. G.... M....

    Ah quand la tournée en FRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANCE ? :D

  96. s.... m....

    his voices, i cant even move on from listening to all of kodaline's songs

  97. C.... ....

    C.... ....

    I know that feeling...

  98. T.... F....
