Oh well the world never seemed bigger Than the summer of '98 Living out in the suburbs Planning my escape I grew my hair to my shoulders Formed a band with a couple of friends And we called ourselves The Devils Playhouse Influences like Bruce and the band
And we'd sing and play Simple three chord rock and roll And miles away The other kids would just grow old But we're making our own way out Yeah we're making our own way out
Well we'd practice every week in my bedroom While my parents were working in town And one morning in our school assembly Played a cover of "Don't Let Me Down" The performance was nervous and awkward But the passion was real and profound And the kids in the audience laughing While the band just looked at the ground
But the victory For the kids who believe in rock and roll I know for me That performance lives, it never grows old But we're making our own way out Yeah we're making our own way out
Well I'd give it all back just to do it again Yeah I'd turn back time, be with my friends Yeah I'd give it all back just to do it again Turn back time, be with my friends Yeah I'd give it all back just to do it again Turn back time and be with my friends Yeah I'd give it all back just to do it again Turn back time, be with my friends Tonight
