Wonderland Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I was a just a young kid with time to waste
Livin' out of my car, those were the days
We were all the wild ones, the wasted youth
Other than a dream, had nothing to lose

[Pre-Chorus]
Ain’t it funny how time flies, fades into gold?
Now I wanna do a drive-by, but I can’t find the road

[Chorus]
Back to Wonderland
Where it all began
Everything was so simple then
Livin' life like our last weekend
Wish I could find my way back to Wonderland

[Verse 2]
Carrie’s in the valley, she’s got a kid
Julie’s still a waitress livin' on tips
Sometimes we get together and shoot the shit
But it’s not the same now, no, nothing is

[Pre-Chorus]
Feels like it was a movie that plays in my mind
Shadows of a past life, wish I could rewind
[Chorus]
Back to Wonderland
Where it all began
Everything was so simple then
Livin' life like our last weekend
Wish I could find my way back to Wonderland

[Bridge]
Didn’t have a clue what we were doin' or where we would end up
Livin' off of nickels and dimes and our young, reckless love
We didn’t ever think that time would ever come to an end
Now, if I could, you know I’d run

[Chorus]
Back to Wonderland
Where it all began
Everything was so simple then
Livin' life like our last weekend
Wish I could find my way back to Wonderland
