Charli XCX – 1999 (Solo Ver.) lyrics

[Chorus]
I just wanna go back, back to 1999
Took a ride to my old neighborhood
I just wanna go back, back to when I was alive
Wanna go back, wanna go

[Verse 1]
Yeah, I just wanna go back
Fresh Prince, Nike Airs, all that
CD in an old Mercedes
Driving around listening to Shady like, oh
Never under pressure, oh
Those days it was so much better
Feelin' cool in my youth, relaxin'
No money, no problem
It was easy back then

[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh, wish that we could go back in time, uh
Got memories
Ooh, maybe we can do it tonight
Tonight's the night

[Chorus]
I just wanna go back, back to 1999
Took a ride to my old neighborhood
I just wanna go back, back to when I was alive
Wanna go back, wanna go
Yeah, I just wanna go back
I just wanna go back, back to 1999
Took a ride to my old neighborhood
I just wanna go back, back to when I was alive
Wanna go back, wanna go

[Verse 2]
Yeah, I remember back home
Best friends, all night, no phone
No cares, I was dumb and so young
My room singing Michael Jackson (hee, hee)
Never under pressure, oh, those days it was so much better
Feelin' cool in my youth
I'm askin', "Does anyone remember how we did it back then?"

[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh, wish that we could go back in time, uh
Got memories
Ooh, maybe we can do it tonight
Tonight's the night
Ah, yeah

[Chorus]
I just wanna go back, back to 1999
Took a ride to my old neighborhood
I just wanna go back, back to when I was alive
Wanna go back, wanna go

[Post-Chorus]
Back to where we came from, playin' air guitar on the roof
In the kitchen, up on the table
Like we had a beautiful view
I wanna go
I just wanna go back, back to 1999
Ah, yeah

[Bridge]
Ah, yeah
Ah, yeah
Ah, yeah
I wanna go back

[Chorus]
I just wanna go back, back to 1999 (yeah, go back, go back)
Took a ride to my old neighborhood
I just wanna go back, back to when I was alive
Wanna go back, wanna go
Yeah, I just wanna go back
I just wanna go back, back to 1999
Took a ride to my old neighborhood
I just wanna go back, back to when I was alive
Wanna go back, wanna go

[Post-Chorus]
Back to where we came from, playin' air guitar on the roof
In the kitchen, up on the table
Like we had a beautiful view
I wanna go
I just wanna go back, back to 1999

[Outro]
Go back, yeah, yeah
I just wanna go back, back to 1999, yeah
I just wanna go back, back to 1999, yeah
