Rite Of Spring

I was locked all day in the summer heat In a small brown house in suburban streets With a skateboard and my shit guitar I dreamed all day that they would get me far My dad would ask me about my grades The asshole sports that I never played And then I'd ask about the girls he'd date Behind our backs when mom had stayed up late It was near when I turned sixteen Got kicked out of school and so it seemed Things were closing in and ready to blow My dad moved out about that year or so It took an hour to start a punk rock band To upset my fucked up family land And as I held my mum would start to cry I swore ourselves, a better life If I had a chance for another try I wouldn't change a thing This made me all on who I am inside And if I could thank God That I am here, and that I am alive And everyday I wake I tell myself a little harmless lie The whole wide world is mine The summers gone, the years have passed My friends have changed, a few did last The smallest dreams got pushed aside The largest ones that changed my life And all I wish for has come to pass From rock and roll, to love and cash It's all success if it's what you need Do what you like and do it honestly If I had a chance for another try I wouldn't change a thing This made me all on who I am inside And if I could thank God That I am here and that I am alive And everyday I wake I tell myself a little harmless lie The whole wide world is mine Hey oh oh oh Hey oh oh Hey oh oh oh Hey oh oh Hey oh oh oh Hey oh oh Hey oh oh oh Hey oh oh If I had a chance for another try I wouldn't change a thing This made me all on who I am inside And if I could thank God That I am here, and that I am alive And everyday I wake I tell myself a little harmless lie The whole wide world is mine (the whole wide world is mine) If I had a chance for another try I wouldn't change a thing This made me all on who I am inside (the whole wide world is mine) And if I could thank God That I am here, and that I am alive (the whole wide world is mine) And everyday I wake I tell myself a little harmless lie (the whole wide world is mine) The whole wide world is mine --- Rite of Spring - Angels & Airwaves
