Angels & Airwaves - Rite Of Spring lyrics

I was locked all day in the summer heat, In a small brown house in Suburban Street, With a skateboard and my sh** guitar, I'd dream all day that they would get me far, My dad would ask me about my grades, The a**hole sports that I never played. And then I'd ask about the girls he'd date, Behind our backs when mom would stay up late. It was near when I turned sixteen, Got kicked out of school, and so it seemed that 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 offset my f**ed up family land And as I held my mom would start to cry I swore ourselves a better life If I had a chance for another try, I wouldn’t change a thing It's made me all of 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 pa**ed, 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 pa** From Rock N 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 It's made me all of 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 yo oh oh oh Hey yo oh oh Hey yo oh oh oh Hey yo oh oh Hey yo oh oh oh Hey yo oh oh Hey yo oh oh oh Hey yo oh oh If I had a chance for another try, I wouldn’t change a thing It's made me all of 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 [x2]
