Thinking back to 2001 The year before my punk rock tine Trading pogs and magic cards And smoking wasn't cool at all Naivety was my trade mark Before the day I realized We're all ruining our lives Or we simply might
I never did what I was told So I learned to spend some time alone “They had empty clips on my mind” “So they burned my fortress to the ground” No social skills, way out of line But I was myself, I was proud.
Take me back, Take me back, I can't help it anymore All my friends have gone away Take me back, Take me back, I can't figure out what to say To make it all allay
No consequences, just survive Throw your number 55 If there's a true lesson to learn Save integrity, then you'll earn A thing worth breathing for, Friends living through open doors Save the best for us
Hypocrisy, The stress it brings, It's not the best for us
I lost some friends, lost some hope Lost some goals, as pure as gold I'm touching sand, I strive for luck But it's sweeping down, hard as rock I feel alive, I feel it's burning deep inside It's not alcohol, because it's leaving me cold
Take me back, Take me back, (Cause) I lost the best part of me None of my friends took a better way Take me back, Take me back, How I wish I'd learned from my mistakes Cause sometimes, I’m such a waste
Conviction brings the doubt of being wrong Don't trust me, cause there's no pleasure in this song Don't help me, cause I want to help myself Just, hey, please, don't hate me now
