[Intro]
I wanna go back
To simpler times

[Verse 1]
Puka shells and Abercrombie
Fog machines and strobe lights
If my friends couldn't get through the home phone
They knew to find me on MSN
It was normal to knock on doors
Even if it was out of the blue
Dating was innocent
But I sure didn't know how to
I met my first girlfriend on craigslist
Yeah, the personals
I don't know

[Refrain]
I wanna go back
To simpler times

[Verse 2]
Puffer vests and UGG boots
Do I got a mansion, apartment, a shack, or a house?
Mad cow disease
Avril Lavigne
Let's get dropped off at the roller rink
I joined a father-daughter bowling league
I was writing poems I thought no one would see
But my dad was going through my things
[Refrain]
Yeah, I wanna go back
To simpler times

[Verse 3]
Kids were mean, middle school was cruel
But I had good friends and I read good books
If I could go back, I'd say, "It'll all get worse"
Nothing prepares you for this world

[Outro]
And you'll wanna go back
To simpler times
Yeah, I wanna go back
To simpler times
Yeah, I wanna go back
To simpler times
Yeah, I wanna go back
To simpler times
Yeah, I wanna go back
To simpler times
