I was locked all day in the summer heat, In a small brown house in suburban streets With a skateboard and my sh** guitar, I dreamed 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 back 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 f**ed 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 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 was come to past 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 Yo oh oh oh Yo oh oh Yo oh oh oh Yo oh oh Yo oh oh oh Yo oh oh Yo oh oh oh Yo 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 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)
