“Little League” sees Conan reminiscing about the past and longing to be younger. The song describes simpler times and nostalgia.
Although usually alluding to a youth baseball and softball organization, the words “Little League” are used to otherwise represent the old days.
[Verse 1]
Do you remember days on our old block?
Messin' with our neighbors who called the cops
Could've swore that you and me
Could get away with anything
We'd lay on the grass all day talking
'Cause we snuck out of class when no one was watching
I remember you and me
Yeah, I remember everything
[Pre-Chorus]
But lately I've been feelin' strange
And everybody's tellin' me to act my age
I never thought that everything I had would fade away
[Chorus]
When we were younger
We didn't know how it would be
We were the dumb, the wild, the free
Little League
And when we were younger
We wore our hearts proud on our sleeve
Why did we ever have to leave?
Little League
[Verse 2]
Could I get a rewind?
Get another chance, take it back in time
'Cause I don't know what to do
With everything I'm goin' through
And where did all my friends go?
Standin' on our street, but nobody's home
Swore we'd never move away
But now I'm going 95 on the interstate
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause lately I've been feelin' strange
And everybody's tellin' me to act my age
I never thought that everything I had would fade away
[Chorus]
When we were younger
We didn't know how it would be
We were the dumb, the wild, the free
Little League
And when we were younger
We wore our hearts proud on our sleeve
Why did we ever have to leave?
Little League
[Bridge]
I wish I was younger
Oh, wish I was younger
[Chorus]
When we were younger
We didn't know how it would be
We were the dumb, the wild, the free
Little League
And when we were younger
We wore our hearts proud on our sleeve
Why did we ever have to leave?

I wasn’t a Little League player at all. I think for me, Little League was always a signifier of my youth. We would go to see my friends’ Little League games and we’d all buy popsicles from the concession stand and watch it and cheer and get super sunburned. When you’re young and then you get older a...
