[Verse 1: RealisticLee]

Recently I've been reminiscing

A certain sad sense of nostalgia

The state of this year what life's been missing

Shit makes me sadder

I was unaware of where I was, how good shit was

I've never been here before

I'm not any gladder that this year's getting badder

Back then I was an inbetweener, I'd just seen the show

Yelling bus wankers right out the window

I miss the dumb, fun, young lad shit, where the fuck did it go

Another time we were in HMV

A woman holds up in her hands a DVD

She held up a copy of The Devil Inside and asked us ''If we had the devil inside''

Nah we decided to run and hide, up the escalator before shit escalated

So we yelled ''smell ya later''

Can't even go to the fucking cinema

Miss sitting in the rows and letting the film get into ya

Miss talking to mates and the people I was always seeing

People around me and speaking about a load of shite and hangin' out in the evening


[Chorus: RealisticLee]

This is time in my life that I'm not getting back

This is time in our lives that we're not getting back

Reminiscing about fun times and the boys I'm not forgetting that

Thinking about old times and old friends, never regretting that


[Verse 2: RealisticLee]

Was never really a party animal but I miss the parties

Barbecues and hanging out in the meadows, it's not mental hardly

Much to ask for, life's not going anywhere and I'm going crazy partly

I'm normally the joker of the group but just now I feel like Mark Hamil

'Cause I've got Arkham inside me

Younger me could barely stand still

Back then I would've lost my shit and thrown an anvil

Right through the pane and trampled a fucking anthill

Sitting round, hangin' out eating in the summertime

Fresh air, girls out in large numbers and they're fine

We were playing football, tennis an basketball

Staying inside all day, nah mate couldn't be assed at all

When it comes to normal life and fun I've got fast withdrawal

High school, uni and college I'm past it all

I did my time at the SRUC

I mean university

Not in a penitentiary

Life back then was elementary

But I don't miss or wanna repeat learning my ABC shit

But I do miss when PSN used to be free

I didn't have to download game data on the PS3

Going to birthday parties, a food fight in Dundee

Too much energy drink, swinging from poles, that was fucking funny

Same dudes party the next year, he's partaking in drunk parkour

Took a run up, ran straight into a fence, didn't even jump too

I miss having shit film days, going to FOP and browsing DVD displays


[Chorus: RealisticLee]

This is time in my life that I'm not getting back

This is time in our lives that we're not getting back

Reminiscing about fun times and the boys I'm not forgetting that

Thinking about old times and old friends, never regretting that


[Interlude: Instumental]


[Chorus: RealisticLee]

This is time in my life that I'm not getting back

This is time in our lives that we're not getting back

Reminiscing about fun times and the boys I'm not forgetting that

Thinking about old times and old friends, never regretting that


[Verse 3: RealisticLee]

Reminiscing and I'm missing the shit film marathons

I'm talking 'Megashark Vs Giant Octopus' and then we land upon

Sharks in a tornado, living inside a volcano, super gator and a croc, add it all up

In the end I miss the fits of spontaneous laughter

And all the dumb jokes that followed after

When music used to be infinitely better

The feeling of the first time I bought an Eminem record

Me and Xander listening to Kamikaze and MTBMB together

Late Friday night, work the next morning, effort

Wasn't always about being a trend setter

Nowadays the music just seems to seem like it's even deader

No one reads into the shit, not into the lyrics, the footnote or the header

Times are changing, people being lazy, maybe we're getting elder

I miss hearing a track, sticking it on the PC, CD or hi-fi, turning it up 'cause it's a belter

But I've never been one for going on mental nights out or weekend benders

This whole year I wish I could pack up and return to sender

I'm just missing having fun and didn't want an apocalypse or world ender
