"1999" lyrics

Someone take me back to 1999
What I would give for one more night
Of feeling care free and living easy
If I could just go back in time...

I remember lying in the grass
My eyes wide and the world felt so vast
Not a worry weighing on my mind
Never thought I would fall behind

But life moved fast and I couldn't keep up
Tried clinging to the past but it wasn't enough
Used to play Nintendo, now I'm paying rent so
Maybe I'm already past my prime

Someone take me back to 1999
What I would give for one more night
Of feeling care free and living easy
If I could just go back in time to 1999
Then I could finally get things right
I wish the good days were like a mixtape
That I could just rewind

They're playing All Star on the radio
Blink-182's pumping through my stereo
Catching cartoons every Saturday
Never thought everything would change

Then all at once twenty years flew by
Watched minutes turn to months in the blink of an eye
Used to play with hot wheels, now I'm paying car bills
Maybe I'm already past my prime

Someone take me back to 1999
What I would give for one more night
Of feeling care free and living easy
If I could just go back in time to 1999
Then I could finally get things right
I wish the good days were like a mixtape
That I could just rewind

99 problems, one way to solve them
Turn back the clock, make it stop, make this end

99 problems, one way to solve them
Turn back the clock, make it stop, make this end

I'm begging, I'm pleading
Won't someone take me to 1999
What I would give for one more night
Of feeling care free and living easy
If I could just go back in time to 1999
Then I could finally get things right
I wish the good days were like a mixtape
That I could just rewind
To 1999
1999
1999
I wish the good days were like a mixtape
That I could just rewind
